"Soon
Hansel and Gretel came to a little cottage. When they got quite near,
they saw that the little house was made of bread and roofed with cake.
The windows were transparent sugar. There must not have been a very
strict building code"
--- Charles M. Schulz, The
Complete Peanuts, Vol. 7: 1963-1964
Very Best
Banana Cake
Maybe we should
call this recipe "The Most Moist Banana Cake Ever", because that's what
makes this cake special. It's super moist and super tasty. Great for a
group, but don't be daunted by the number of servings. We guarantee the
slices will disappear quickly, or tuck a few into the freezer for
another lucky day.

• 1 cup
raisins (soaked in water for 1 hour)
