Some good low fat recipes including chocolate banana cake in Low Fat Baking by Linda Fraser. I got mine from Lakeland.

when i make banana cake i just make a basic sponge mix and add overripe mashed banana to it. I also adapt it sometimes by adding either raisins or a lovely addition is rasperries. I make them up as fairy cakes and then get the kids to top them with melted white chocolate. Gorgeous

My recipe is for 'passion cake' and includes both bananas and carrots and is really moist. The cream topping can be left off and it still makes a delicious cut-and-come-again cake.
Mix 2 mashed bananas with 2oz. chopped walnuts, 2-3 oz. sugar and 3 eggs. Sieve 10 oz plain flour with 2 teasps. baking powder and 1 teasp. salt into the mixture, add
6 fl. oz. corn oil and mix all together. Fold in 6 oz. grated carrots and pour mixture into an 8/9 inch cake tin (Loose bottom is best). Cook at 180C or gas mark 4 for
1 hour and 5 minutes, test as usual. Turn onto a wire ack to cool. For topping, (if required) Beat together 3 oz. butter, 3 oz. cream cheese, 6 oz. icing sugar and half a teasp of vanilla essence. Spread over cake.
