Title: Low Fat Fruit Cake (Possible Eggs)
Categories: Lowfat Cake
Yield: 4 Servings

2		Egg whites (Or replacer -
		Havn't tried it with this
		Yet)
2	c	Wholewheat flour
1		Tin crushed pinapple -
		Complete with juice
1		Mushy banana - any ripeness
		As long as it isn't green
2	c	Dark raisins
2	tb	Mollasses. (Modify to your
		Own taste)
		Spices - 2-3 or your
		Favorite cake spices - I use
		Nutmeg cinamon and ginger
2		Spoons of baking powder.
8		Inch loose bottomed cake tin

Heat oven to approx 400

Put the flour in a mixing bowl (Don't add the baking powder yet) Add the pinnapple and its juice (This is why don't add the powder they react too quickly and all the fiz gets mixed out of the cake and it comes out a little flatter). Break the banana into chunks and add to the flour and pinnaple mash the Banana roughly with your mixing spoon, mix together, add egg whites and enough water to get a thick batter (very thick or the fruit will sink), add the mollasses and spices, when these are mixed in add the raisins. Then add the baking powder and as soon as you have it mixed in pour it straight qinto the tin smooth the surface and put in the oven. You have to be quick with the baking powder and not mix too much - just enough to get it distributed, if you spend too long, again you risk all the fizz getting knocked out of the cake .

Bake for about 40 minutes - its done when a knife stuck into the cake comes out looking clean. My only trouble with this cake is that it tends to stick to my rather old and cheep bakeware. This makes a very moist cake that has been kept for up to a week - it should last longer but somehow ours never stays around long enough to find out.
