This delicious spice cake is bursting with the fresh flavor of ripe bananas and zesty orange peel. "I've packed lots of spices into my favorite healthy dessert," comments Sharon Carroll of Whittier, California.

Ingredients

1 large egg yolk
1/4 cup canola oil
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
2 cups cake flour
1-1/4 cups sugar, divided
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon each salt, ground cloves, ginger and allspice
1/2 cup fat-free milk
1/4 cup orange juice concentrate
2 tablespoons fat-free plain yogurt
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
GLAZE:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 to 2 tablespoons fat-free milk

Directions

In a bowl, beat the egg yolk, oil and bananas. Combine the cake flour, 1 cup sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, salt, cloves, ginger and allspice. In another bowl, combine the milk, orange juice concentrate, yogurt, orange zest and vanilla. Gradually add dry ingredients to banana mixture alternately with milk mixture.

In another bowl, eat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold in batter. Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Bake at 350° for 48-52 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
Combine the glaze ingredients; drizzle over cooled cake.
