Recipe : Banana Cake

Ive tried this recipe and its like SEDAP !

Ingredients

Serves: 8

• 2 large, ripe bananas, about 400 g in total
• 2 cups self-raising flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup sunflower oil
• 1/3 cup low-fat milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup sultanas

Preparation method

Prep: 10 minutes | Cook: 55 minutes

1.

Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Grease a deep 18 cm round cake tin and line the bottom with baking paper. Peel the bananas, then mash with a fork.

2.

Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl and stir in the sugar. Mix together the oil, milk and eggs in a separate bowl and add to the flour mixture. Stir in the sultanas and mashed bananas, then pour the mixture into the tin.

3.

Bake for 50–55 minutes or until the cake is well risen and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool for 15 minutes, then loosen the edge of the cake with a knife and turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. The cake can be kept in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

HEALTH HINT

This cake is much lower in sugar than a conventional banana cake. Using sunflower oil instead of butter makes it low in saturated fat, too.

Variation

You can substitute other dried fruit for the sultanas, such as dried cranberries, chopped dried figs or apricots, or a mix of chopped exotic dried fruit such as mango and pawpaw.
