Banana cake

Scrumptious warm banana cake. Perfect for using up those last few bananas that never seem to get eaten.











You will need:

A 1lb loaf tin
Greaseproof paper

4oz / 100g butter or margerine
8oz caster sugar
3 eggs
3 ripe bananas
10oz plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder dissolved in 3 teaspoons cold water
2oz chopped blanched almonds (optional)

Grease and line the loaf tin

Cream together margerine and sugar.

In a seperate bowl beat the eggs

In another bowl mash the bananas

Now add the beaten eggs and the mashed banana to the margerine and sugar mixture

Add the baking powder, the flour and the almonds

Pour mixture into the loaf tin and bake in a preheated oven (180C) for about an hour or until cooked

This is at its best when it is warm but tastes great cold too.

It is a flexable mixture. I have made it with only 2 eggs and with more or less bananas. You could add some roughly chopped chocolate.

The riper the bananas are the sweeter the cake will be.
