Banana-Pineapple Cake

Submitted by Ian Magary

"You can use Sunsweet Lighter Bake butter and oil replacement or make the fruit puree fat replacement or just add apple sauce in-place of the oil if you're looking for lighter fare... this is just the original recipe as given by my friend's wife Linda Tate. Being diabetic, I also use the splenda sugar replacement instead of regular granulated."

Thanks to pick a chef I picked this recipe to try~~<br/><br/>My DH office loved this recipe! They did not feel they needed anything on top of them.<br/><br/> I chose to make 4 small loafs ~ which they came out nice & moist inside. <br/>Also this is an easy recipe to make which surprised me.

This was a very good cake, lots of taste and very moist! I added a pineapple glaze. Excellent recipe that I will be using again! Thanks, Ian, for posting a keeper recipe!
