Banana Cranberry Cake

Submitted by SissyMaryLaLa86

"Cranberry bread & banana bread are so good and thought this cake would taste great. I found this recipe on another website and adapted it for posting here. If you prefer a quick bread, use 1/2 cup sour cream instead of the 4 ounces of cream cheese."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 5mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Yields: 1 cake

ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 3⁄4 cup vegetable oil
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 1⁄3 cups bananas, 3 medium ripe and mashed
• 1⁄2 cup cranberries, fresh or frozen chopped
• 1 3⁄4 cups all-purpose flour

directions

1. In a bowl, add beaten eggs with cream cheese. With a whisk blend in brown sugar and oil, mix well.
2. Stir in cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, mashed banana and flour.
3. Pour mixture into a greased 9-inch round cake pan or if making quick bread a 12 x 4 x 4-inch loaf pan. Can also use 6 mini loaf pans for mini loaves.
4. Bake in 375° oven for 50 minutes checking for doneness using a knife in the center of the cake.
5. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan. When cool, loosen edges and turn onto rack to completely cool.

i really liked this bread. i substituted 3/4 cup applesauce for the oil, and 1/2 cup light sour cream for the cream cheese. it turned out moist and with the perfect amount of sweetness. i don't know how it would be if you made it exactly as directed, though.
