Doctor Turi's "Sunday-After-Divine-Liturgy-Licit-for-the-Great-Fast" Cake

"Here is the recipe for that cake (some of) you tried on Sunday, after Divine Liturgy.

Mix together:

2 cups all purpose flour

2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. cloves

1/2 tsp. salt

In another bowl mix well:

1 1/2 cups mashed banana, applesauce or prune baby food, or any combination thereof

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup brown sugar - not packed too tightly (The original recipe called for 1 cup of white sugar, but I found it way too sweet after adding the dried fruit. It was still sweet even with the 1/2 cup sugar.)

1 tsp. vanilla

Gently stir dry ingredients into wet, then add 1/2 cup raisins, currants, chopped dates, or chopped apples. You can also add 1/2 cup chopped nuts if you wish. Pour into greased and floured 9x9 baking pan. Bake at 350°F for 30-40 minutes, until tester comes out clean.

Enjoy - but not too much."
