TWD: Banana Upside-Downer

I chose to be different. I chose to not follow the crowd, to be different. Sounds good, right? Sounds like I'm taking a stand. The truth is, I didn't have cranberries, I didn't want to go to the store to get them, and I had bananas that are at that perfect for baking and eating stage. I was lazy. Plain and simple. I'm sure this cake is delicious with cranberries and maybe I'll try to make it with cranberries in the upcoming months, but for now, the cake with bananas is wonderful. The bananas melted into the cake and were such a great texture contrast to the denseness of the cake. The changes I made included halving the recipe, subbing cinnamon for nutmeg, topping with a caramel sauce, and using a combination of brown and granulated sugars instead of granulated sugar alone.

Thanks to Sabrina of Superfluous for this week's selection. She picked a cake that is easy to work with and flexible. Make sure to head over to  her blog for the recipe and to head over to the TWD site to see what everyone else thought.
