Recipe Request #1

Wherever I go with this cake, I get complimented on it. Seriously, wherever. Every time.
I whip this up at least once a week.
And I've been asked for the recipe so many time too.
So I thought I'd share it.

For me, baking has to be easy, cheap, not too fattening and pretty much fail-proof.
So this is what this recipe is!

And it can easily be non-dairy

It's called Perfect Banana Loaf....just double the recipe for a cake size.

1 3/4 cups self-raising flour (I've tried using normal flour and baking powder but it just isn't quite the same)
1/2 cup raw sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Yes there is a giant piece missing from the end. This is called Mr Samoa's share : )

Mix dry ingredients all together

2 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1/4 cup milk (or soy milk if you want it non-dairy)
2 cups mashed bananas (about 2 bananas)

Mix, and then mix into the dry ingredients
Pour into a greased/lined loaf tin and bake at 180 degrees for 40-50 minutes
Leave to cool for 10 mins in the tin and then transfer to a cooling rack

You can also add 1/2 cup of choc chips, walnuts etc...whatever you want
Or 1/2 a teaspoon cinnamon and/or nutmeg for a spicy flavour

Put a simple lemon or chocolate butter icing on the top and you have a delicious dessert, morning tea or gift for someone special

I have one more recipe request coming up in the next few days which is another goodie

Happy baking!
