Banana Cake
Recipe ingredients
2 or 3 mashed bananas
225g (8oz) Flour
175g (6oz) Sugar
125g (4oz) Butter
1 tsp Baking soda
1 tsp Baking Powder
2 tbsp boiling milk
2 Eggs
Cooking Steps
Cream butter and sugar (in other words mix together really good) - if the butter is really hard I sometimes microwave the butter for 10 sec or so, just to make it softer. Add eggs and mashed bananas.
Mix the boiling milk and baking soda together, and then add to the mixture. Mix flour and baking powder together and add to mixture (I use a sieve to remove any lumps). I usually cook it as one cake in a greased ring mould and cook for approximately 45 min at 180°C (350°F)
For a special occasion I cook the mixture as 2 cakes - baked in 2 greased sandwhich tins for approximately 20 min at 180°C (350°F) and then when cool put whipped cream and sliced bananas in between the cakes. I ususally not only grease my tins but line them with baking paper also. This makes a really yummy banana cake - hope you enjoy it

I find that if i freeze the bananas when they start browning (skin on) then take them out of the freezer a few hours before I use them, it makes the cake tastier and moister.
