Banana Cake

You've got some bananas that you've left for too long, they're destined for the bin.....

Not with this recipe

Ingredients:

4oz butter

6oz Sugar

8oz self raising flour

2 eggs

2 large or 3 medium (very ripe) bananas

Method:

Heat the oven to gas mark 4, 180C

Grease a 2lb loaf tin.

Mash the bananas with a sturdy fork.

Cream the butter and sugar together, then mix in the eggs.

Mix the bananas into the sugar, butter and eggs.

Mix in the flour.

Scrape the mixture into the greased loaf tin

Bake for 40 minutes at 180c

After 40 minutes, turn the oven down to gas mark 4, 150c

Leave it in there for a further 30 mins.

Test it with a knife in the centre of the cake - if the knife comes out clean, or cleanish, then it's done.

Turn it out onto a cooking rack and try to let it cool down before you devour it.
