Mam's Banana Cake
From
Sandra
There are 3 females in our family & we're all a bit heavy handed
when it comes to sponge cakes. So when Mam discovered this Banana Cake recipe
(no idea where or when) it quickly became a family favorite, & now gets made for
every & any occasion. Even though we moved round a lot when I was little
(following Dad & his work), Mam's Banana Cake was a constant & have now been
asked for by my little sister, who has just moved into a house with a usable
kitchen.
Mam’s Banana Cake
8oz Self Rising
Flour
4oz Margarine/Butter
2oz Sugar
1 egg (lightly beaten)
1 Large Banana (peeled & mashed)
A pinch of baking powder
A little milk (if needed)
Greased & lined cake/loaf tin
Preheat oven at 350 degrees (180 degrees 'C', Gas Mark 4)
Place everything except
the milk in a bowl & using an electric mixer, mix everything together well. The
batter might be a little stiff, so it is at this point you add the milk. I can't
give exact amounts, but it should be enough to give you a wet/soft cake batter.
Pour in to the prepared tin & bake until a skewer comes out clean, when inserted
in to the centre. Bake 45 - 60 minutes.
Sandra also says, “I
know this isn't exactly a hint, but last time I made this cake I made it in a
round tin, cut in half through the centre. Put lashings of vanilla butter icing
between the pieces, then covered in chocolate icing made from a bar of milk
chocolate & two big dollops of Nutella. It disappeared so fast, I never got a
slice. lol”
