I love that this Banana Oatmeal Cake has NO oil in the cake… don’t you worry though! It’s moist and delicious all the same.
Happy Thursday and Happy Cooking!

PS- I shared this recipe over at Remodelaholic too
Is there a substitution for whole wheat cake flour? I have whole wheat flour on hand. Just wondering if I can use this instead?
Yes mam… it’ll be just fine! You’ll love this recipe– it’s so good! xoxo~ Ruthie
