Have to share a great recipe - it has become a favourite of ours. Nothing feels better than making something nutritous, economical and tasty for filling the lunch boxes for school and work. I don't buy any packaged foods for school so lots of muffins and pikelets do the trick. I find at this time of year the energy levels are good and I'm keen to try new ideas and recipes every few days. Last week I found some discounted over ripe bananas at a local fruit shop and brought them home with some baking in mind.
I found a banana cake recipe I had used some time ago but forgotten about. With the help of Hannah and Ruby we whipped it together quickly between dinner and bedtime a couple of days ago and everyone enjoyed it. So moist and light, and although it didn't get the chance to see out the week, it would have stayed nice and fresh for at least a few more days.
Banana Cake
125g (4oz) butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups SR Flour
2 Tb milk
1 level tsp bicarb soda dissolved in the milk
3 ripe bananas
pinch salt
Cream butter and sugar, beat eggs, mash bananas well and add with eggs to butter. Add flour and lastly milk and soda. Mix well. Bake 1 hour in moderate oven in paper-lined tin.
Hope you like it as much as we did
Very good.
