My Recipes

Hello and Welcome;

I often get asked by friends for my recipes so I thought I would start a BLOG of all my favourites.

To start I will tell you what I have in the oven currently, and that is a Banana Cake. This is so simple and easy to make it just involves mixing all ingredients together and placing it in the oven to bake. It is a great way to use up ripe bananas and I find that the more ripe the nicer the cake.

The Recipe came from my sons' preschool as they would often make it with the kids, and the kids loved being involved...


Banana Cake Recipe

6 really ripe banana (mashed - kids love doing this)
250 grams butter (melted)
1 cup sugar (recipe says 1 1/2 but if using really ripe bananas add only 1 cup)
6 eggs
1/2 cup milk
3 cups self raising flour ( I use 2 cups wholemeal self-rasing flour with 1 cup white Self-raising flour)
pinch salt
1 tsp bi-carb soda

Method
*mix all ingredients together and place in cake pans... this makes about 2 - 20cm cakes.
*Bake in oven at 180 degrees celcius for 40 to 50 minutes - until a skewer or knife comes out clean.

Note: I did make this once without the eggs as I completely forgot them - it was still a success....

Here is a picture after 10 minutes in oven...



I will post another when they are cooked.

Cheers
