I'm always on the hunt for quick, easy and simple Banana Cake recipes. And I think I may have found one. I always have bananas 'hanging' around our place, but as you know, they tend to turn brown pretty quickly if not eaten on time. What I tend to do is place the browning bananas in the freezer, complete with skins. They aren't good for eating once you do that but boy, are they god for baking!! When I want to use them, I take them out the freezer about an hour before hand.
In this recipe I used 4 small-medium sized bananas.
I used my mix master for this recipe, only stirring in the mashed bananas by hand.
The recipe stated to cook in a 'little hotter moderate oven' for an hour, but I found my cake, cooked in a small square tin, baked in around 25 minutes. you've been warned!

Oooh... another one to try! Thanks.
Gee I love a good banana cake! Last week I baked some superb banana muffins with lemon cream cheese icing and froze a heap of them thinking I'd be sneaky and ONLY eat one a day :-)
Over the weekend I found a great recipe for banana cake using sour cream so I'm going to give it a whirl in the next day or so. I'll probably blog about it as I haven't done anything on food in agggggges.
