Step-by-Step Instructions
Alright, let’s get this cake baking! First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, in a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and baking powder. In another bowl, mix together the applesauce, mashed banana, eggs, and peanut butter until it’s well blended. Once that’s nice and creamy, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until everything is just combined.
