Prep: 15 min. Bake: 25 min. + cooling

Ingredients
1/3 cup butter, softened
Sugar substitute equivalent to 3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs

1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder
3 tablespoons baking cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
3/4 teaspoon confectioners' sugar

Directions
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar substitute and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in water and vanilla. Combine the flour, dry milk powder, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture just until combined. Stir in bananas.

Bake at 375° for 23-28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean and edges of cake are just starting to pull away from sides of pan. Cool on a wire rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Yield: 12 servings.
