Raspberry Banana Bread ~ My Sister's Favourite Recipes

Raspberry Banana Bread is a variation of an old favourite. My sister in Australia is a fabulous cook and  on a recent trip she made some of the best desserts ever so I brought home some recipes to try. This dessert cake is super easy to make and bake and is a sweet, moist cake to serve to the most discerning of people with the raspberries adding a delightful taste to traditional Banana Bread. The cake froze well for later use and was just as moist & delicious as freshly baked. Here is my sister's recipe for Raspberry Banana Bread. Well worth a try!
