Banana Cake

This recipe makes very light, moist, and fluffy banana cake. Quick and easy too. My absolute favourite recipe!

Makes: 18 cup cakes (or in one batch in 9″ square tin)

What you need

• 200 grams plain flour or cake flour
• 3 eggs
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup oil (this can be reduced to 1/2 c)
• 180 grams caster sugar
• 200 grams ripe banana
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

How to put this together

1. Preheat oven 200 C
2. Sift together flour + baking powder + baking soda
3. Mash banana and add lemon juice
4. Put eggs + sugar + salt in a bowl
5. Beat on high speed for 7-8 mins
6. Add flour
7. Beat on on low for 1 min
8. Add oil & vanilla essence
9. Beat on medium for 2 mins
10. Add banana
11. Beat on low for 1 min
12. Put mixture into muffin tray (or cake tin)
13. Bake for 20-25 mins
14. Leave to cool

To bake this in cake tin:

• Preheat the oven to 180 C instead
• Line the bottom of the tin with baking paper
• Bake for 30-40 mins (or until a clean skewer inserted come out clean)

This tastes even better and more moist the day after!
