Low fat, low sugar whole wheat banana bundt cake

Caleb has been asking for banana bread since New Orleans. We had a couple rotten bananas so I thought for a treat on his first day of school I would turn on the oven (if you knew how humid it is today you would know the act of love that required :) and make him some bread.

The best thing about this cake is it's sweet enough I can pass it off as a dessert in our home. However, it's healthy enough to eat for breakfast. I love the crispy top and bottom of a bundt cake, but if you don't have a bundt pan you can use a regular bread or cake pan. It just won't have the great crisp that makes this cake so amazing.

I forgot to grease the middle portion of the bundt cake today so no photos. It is still incredibly delicious even though I was scrapping it from the pan :)
