    I am a sucker for everything sesame so this cake was right up my alley. The bananas are not mashed but rather cut into pieces and provided these sweet pocktes of deliciousness!

    I had some bananas that were destined to be either banana bread or something more interesting. I decided to try this recipe just to experiment. Full disclosure: I had to sub whole wheat flour for almond flour and vanilla for vanilla paste. The texture came out like most almond flour cakes and had soft banana slices which were islands of sweetness. The cake tasted heavily of the sesame flour that you grind from seeds and include in the batter. My husband liked it but I found myself longing for banana bread.
