Bananas

So reading the blog, Pittsburgh Needs Eated, made me seriously hungry for banana baked goods. Since I love to bake, but don't have time on the average evening after work and pottery class, I sat down and chose one of her many banana cake/bread/muffin/ etc recipes to try last Saturday morning. I won't repost the recipe here, but I settled on the Banana Gugelhupf. It was a really nice cake without the spice cake tones so frequently in banana recipes. Don't get me wrong, I like spice cake, but this cake would be wonderful with a chocolate mousse filling. I didn't have a gugelhupf pan and I recently pitched my bundt pan in a fit of anger after the third cake got stuck in it ( it was one of those fancy cathedral shapes... I don't recommend it if you want your bundt in a single ring.) It fits nicely in a large loaf pan but will take a couple extra minutes of cooking. I would have a pic but we couldn't resist cutting into it and then I forgot! I would mention that it should all be eaten within 3 days, or it gets a bit dry. Next time I may try adding a bit more fat or sour cream to help with the staying power.
