Banana Molasses Cake



I am one of those people who loves molasses even more than chocolate, it's healthy, rich with that little edge of bitterness. In Lebanon, we grew up eating molasses mixed with tahini. We used to wait for that moment when my grandmother used to get a small bowl, pour the molasses then add some tablespoons of tahini. We used to love swirling the tahini paste with the molasses using a small piece of lebanese bread, dipping it into the yummy mixture and savoring each bite of it.

So today, I will share with you this healthy banana molasses that literally takes few minutes to prepare.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup (200 g) all purpose flour
2 eggs
1 cup molasses
1/2 cup oil
5 small bananas (4 mashed, one sliced)
1 tsp baking powder
a pinch of salt

Grease a loaf pan. Preheat the oven at 350ºF (180ºC).
Sift flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.

Make a well in the center, add the mashed bananas, the eggs, the molasses and the oil.
Stir until mixture is smooth. Add the sliced banana. Mix.

Pour into the pan and bake for about 40 to 45 mn.

Insert a toothpick in the center of the cake, if it comes clean, that means the cake is ready.
Let cool on a wire rack for about 10 mn.
