Recipe
For the Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C). Spray a 10-inch tube or bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the sugar and banana with an electric mixer. Then, slowly mix in the flour, baking powder and vanilla extract. Mix in the egg whites, one at a time.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared 10-inch tube or bundt pan. Bake about 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool for 20 minutes on wire rack, then remove the cake from the pan. Serve with Raspberry Topping OR Alternate Raspberry Sugar Syrup.
Raspberry Topping
In a saucepan over low heat, heat the jam, preserves or jelly until melted enough to pour, stirring constantly, about one minute. Drizzle over the cake, or place warmed sauce in a pretty bowl and let guests help themselves to the topping.
Makes 12 Servings.
Alternate Topping
Raspberry Sugar Syrup
1/4 cup fresh raspberries
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
Blend or process raspberries until almost smooth, pass through a small sieve to remove seeds. Combine raspberry puree, sugar and the water in small pan. Simmer, stirring, without boiling, until sugar is dissolved. Boil gently for 3 minutes or until syrup is slightly thickened. Drizzle over cake or place warmed syrup in a pretty bowl and let guests serve themselves.
