A recipe for Banana Cake, it was given to me a long time ago by a friend of a friend. The bits in italics are as it was given to me and the bits in brackets are my variations/comments. It’s a moist tasty cake that lasts well; I like to bake it to take on camping trips.
Ingredients:
8 oz 225 g Self Raising Flour
6 oz 175 g Sugar (I use soft brown)
4 oz 110 g Marg (I sometimes use butter)
Pinch of salt (I never add that)
Mixed spice to taste (available from the supermarket I add about teaspoon)
1lb (4) Mashed Ripe Bananas
4 oz 110 g dried mix fruit (I use raisins or sultanas)
2 oz 50 g Chopped Walnuts (I don’t bother with these)
2 eggs beaten
You will need a loaf tin (mine is about 29 cm length by 13 cm wide) and some grease proof paper
Method:
Sieve flour, spice and salt into a large bowl and rub in the marg. Add remaining ingredients and mix well (I sometimes use a hand blender if I am feeling lazy)
Pour into a greased and lined tin and stick it in the oven!
Bake at 180 C, 350 F , Gas Mark 4 for about 50 minutes to an hour depending on the heat of your oven. Enjoy x

I LOVE Banana cake and it answers the question of what to do with all those Banana’s i bought to be healthy that have sat in the fruit bowl going a bit brown…..thanks! 🙂

Mmmm, we like banana bread here. I would add the walnuts though, I love walnuts. 🙂

Is there really anything better than Banana Bread?
Ok. There are 3 great words there: Easy, Banana and Cake. What more do you want…
We love banana bread but I haven’t made it in ages, you’ve inspired me to make it again soon. Thanks for taking part in the carnival, I hope it was easy to add the links and that you’ll take part again if you can x
I’ve never made banana bread but I love it. I’ll definitely be adding it to my ‘to do’ list!
That looks yummy Gemma – and I don’t even like bananas 🙂
I don’t add walnuts to banana bread either, just extra sultanas! We make it a lot here, it’s great for lunchboxes with a cup of tea 🙂
i really need to make that!
