BANANA FLAX CHIFFON: A HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE

Okay, you know I collect bananas.

freshly ground golden flaxseed adds health benefits to this cake without making it taste icky

I obviously have a hefty collection thus far and decided to whittle down my collection by baking my favourite chiffon cake.

the cake is very moist and can be kept for 3-5 days

I adapted the recipe by adding 4 tablespoons of freshly ground golden flaxseed. It's hardly noticeable and in fact gives it a bit of a subtle nutty flavour.

no frosting is necessary; but a dusting of confectioners' sugar is always pretty

With the addition of the flaxseed this Banana Chiffon Cake is not only moist and delicious; but it is also mildly healthy with the addition of this ingredient. At least I'm adding back some fibre in there along with the other heart-healthy benefits of flaxseed.

My favourite chiffon recipe comes from America's Test Kitchen because it uses 7 whole eggs. There's none of that craziness you get with using more egg whites than yolks; leaving you with a bunch of yolks that you have to utilize in yet another recipe.

Here's the recipe I used.
