can’t wait to try this one..tomorrow i will for sure!! “Molasses” with bananas seem like a match made in heaven..I use brown sugar with banana cakes..but I think Molasses is a more interesting alternative!!
will tell you how it turns out :)

Yes it works beautifully in banana bread too! The molasses gives it a beautiful colour, without adding too much sweetness, and it helps make the cake a little more moist :)

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!!! It’s the sour cream and the molasses – they really help with the density and keep the cake moist. :).

This cake was amazing! Because it was just a test run and I didn’t have a need for cake I turned it into cake pops. Now my new favorite cake pop flavor. It had such a great texture. Thanks for sharing.
