Add Step-by-Step Photos

A different take on a fruit cake, made with yellow polenta and mashed banana, and studded with figs and raisins. Laced with brandy, but you can use apple juice if you want. Low-fat and totally vegan, though you can substitute if you wish.

Thanks! I'm always trying to make things that are delicious but also nutritious, so we don't have to feel AS guilty!! Go figure, I'm going to college for a pastry arts degree, that's when you'll see me bring on the butter (lol!). The compliments you make are always welcome, let me know if any of these recipes are a hit with your family!
