Trying to convert recipes to a low cholesterol alternative proves challenging but I have just made this Banana Cake and it is beautiful and moist.

Ingredients

• 125gm butter ( or half butter and half margarine)
• 155gms sugar
• 2 teaspoons grated orange rind (optional)
• 2 eggs lightly beaten
• 1 1/2 cups SR flour (or half SR and half Wholemeal SR)
• 1/2 cup plain flour ( or wholemeal plain flour)
• 1/2 teaspoon bi carb soda
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 cup mashed ripe banana ( aboue 3 bananas)
• 1/4 cup orange juice, I used apricot nectar as I had leftovers from another cake
• 1/2 cup sultanas

Method

• Crream butter and sugar till light and fluffy, add rind if using
• add eggs one at a time and beat well
• stir in flours, soda, fruit, nuts and juice, then bananas
• mix well
• pour into well greased 20cm round pan
• bake in moderate oven approx 45 minutes or till skewer comes out clean
• leave in tin 10 minutes to cool slightly
• serve cold with a little butter or margarine

I think this cake would be lovely served warm with custard
