      p. 67 - I’ve tabbed quite a few recipes from this book but today was the first time I’ve actually baked anything from it. For some reason I expected that the oatmeal would dry this out a little but I couldn’t have been more wrong. The cake is moist and light with a very tender crumb. The topping provides as nice little crunch. This rec’d top marks from all who tried it. I’ll be adding this to my regular rotation as it makes for a quick breakfast item or snack.

      Recently made this cake to help use up some very ripe bananas. Reduced the sugar by about a third and it was much more delicious than expected. Would definitely make again!
