Here’s a nice springtime twist on a fruit cake. These iced fruit cake bars feature more tropical fruits along with some delicious icing. The star of this recipe really is the ultra fluffy icing that tops off these dense cake bars.
Iced Fruit Cake Bars
Servings, 16
Cake bars Three cups all-purpose flour One-half cup sugar 3 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice One tablespoon baking powder One-half teaspoon salt Two bananas, mashed Eight ounces crushed pineapple One cup skim milk One cup pecans, chopped
Icing Eight ounces whipped topping, fat free One ounce vanilla pudding mix sugar free and fat free One-half cup skim milk
Instructions Wash your hands and preparation area. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients first. Then add in the mashed bananas, pineapple, and milk until well combined. Fold in chopped pecans. Pour into a lightly greased 9-by-13 inch pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. After the cake has cooled, combine the thawed whipped topping and skim milk until smooth.
