banana glut

Gingernutmeg

This recipe for banana cake is soooo good, it's the only one I use It makes a lot but a half quantity works just as well (2 eggs) and I've also found it freezes really nicely.

That does sound good. What sort of flour do you use? I notice it says "All purpose" but not quite sure what to use.

Gingernutmeg

All purpose is plain - that's what I used last time and it was fine. Some of the reviews say it doesn't rise much but mine did! Had to keep checking to see that it was still in the tins lol I sprinkled the leftover cinnamon sugar on the top and that's really yummy.

Oh, and I've found that it takes a little bit longer to cook but that could just be my oven.

8 oz (200g) self-raising flour
Mash the bananas and add the eggs, sugar and sultanas. Mix well, then stir in the flour. Place in a lined 2lb (800g) loaf or cake tin. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes in a pre-heated oven at 180c, 350F or Gas Mark 4. Remove from the oven and leave to cool. When cool, store in an air-tight tin for 24 hours before serving.

1 nice ripe banana, glass of milk, scoop of vanilla ice-cream into a blender... delicious!

or, minus the ice cream = milkshake

you can also peel, wrap in cling film and then freeze. they make a nice dessert, with an almost ice cream like consistency. you can of course cover the frozen ones in melted choc, sprinkles etc. or put on a lolly stick to make lolly pops
