banana CAKE

Banana cake is always a favourite. When bananas are over-ripe store them in the freezer
until you are ready to bake.

INGREDIENTS

150g butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup mashed banana
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp milk
Lemon icing

METHOD

Melt butter in a mixer bowl in the microwave or over hot water. Add sugar, eggs and mashed banana. Mix on low speed to combine. Sift in flour and baking powder. Dissolve baking soda in milk and add to the mixer bowl. Beat on low speed to combine. Increase the speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Pour mixture into baking-paper-lined 20cm round cake tin. Bake at 180C for 50 mins or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Leave in tin for 5 mins before turning onto a cooling rack. When cool, ice with lemon icing.
