Light and easy to make and oh so yummy. I invented it after having too many ripe bananas. Best eaten straight out of the oven. Ingredients:
3 cups cake flour, sifted |
5 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda |
375 ml milk |
2 cups bananas, pureed |
125 g margarine or 125 g butter, melted |
1/2 cup light brown sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla essence |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 160 degrees Celsius.
2. Sift first three ingredients together.
3. Whisk pureed bananas, milk and butter together. (It is important that the pureed bananas are smooth and there are no lumps). Add dry ingredients gradually into wet ingredients, mixing well.
4. Pour into well buttered rectangular pyrex or oven roasting pan and bake for 20 to 30 minutes or till lightly browned on top and skewer comes out clean.
5. Cooks Note: After reading a review from someone, I think perhaps they went for a high cake. Aim for a flatter rather than high cake. So your pyrex or roasting pan should be flatter rather than deeper or higher. Eggless cakes fare poorly when you try to bake them in deep/high dishes instead of flat, as they dont have eggs to help them rise. This could lead to rawness in the centre, whereas a flatter cake would cook evenly.
