Hello D3BB13

The recipe experts in the 'Old Style' board should have some suggestions for you, so I'll move your thread across.

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

Banana Cake

6oz sugar
2 eggs
2 big bananas
8oz self raising flour

Cream butter & sugar, mix in eggs, mix in mashed bananas and add the flour. Transfer to a loaf tin and bake for 40mins gas mark 4. Check to see if its done and if not turn down oven to Gas 2 and cook for a further 20-30 mins.

Hope that helps

Hi there. I need just the same myself! Lots of Bananas to use up:D . You can freeze bananas in their skins for use in cakes later in case you don't really want cake now (and why would you not want cake now?)

Here are some links:

Hope these are helpful and if you have any other cooking or OS questions just give us a nudge.

I fancy making the banana cake recipe - but don't have a loaf tin. If I was to cook this in a 8inch round cake tin how long would it take in the oven?

Thanks - cake novice!

*munching on a slice myself*

The easiest EVER is 2 cups of SR flour, 1 cup of sugar, 2-3 nana's, 4 tbls oil and 2 eggs.
If you have a bread machine then just dump it in there and stick it on dough till smooth. Then stick on Bake for 50 minutes (keep an eye on it as it can vary between machines).
Otherwise stick it in the oven at 180c for same amount of time roughly- again keep an eye as it will depend on your oven

i tried this recipe for the first time tonight, all seemed to go well tho it did have to go in for over an hour altogether, when i tried to take it out the tin it came apart in the middle (ie left bottom half in tin) and was still a wee bit gooey in the middle. i got a fan assisted oven (did change temp slightly to allow for this) and since then i can't seem to even manage a sponge cake! can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong? wasn't sure if i should line the cake tin with marg etc it was a non stick one!

many thanks

edited to add- banana breadcrumbs are yummy!
