Banana Cake

Not only is this a great way to use up bananas, this cake is a family favourite of ours, it 's so delicious that it needs nothing more than a slight dusting with icing sugar.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 3 Eggs
  • 3 mashed Bananas
  • 1/2 cup Caster Sugar
  • 1tsp Vanilla
  • 1tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
  • 50mls Milk
  • 1 1/2cups Self Raising Flour


Method
  1. Cream the butter, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer
  2. Whilst beating on low speed add eggs one at a time
  3. Add the mashed Bananas and mix well
  4. Dissolve the Bicarbonate of Soda in the milk,
  5. Add the milk and flour in small batches alternatively until well combined.
  6. Pour into a pre lined tin and bake at 180*c for 40 mins or until a skewer comes out clean.
Allow to cool and dust with icing sugar before serving, or in winter serve warm with a knob of butter.

I just made a loaf to share with a couple of friends who need a bit of tlc at the moment and at the last minute threw some of the mix in as mini cup cakes for me and my boys. So delicious! This is going to be a regular in our house from now on!!
