Banana Cake and the demise of Mr Egg

 Fridays usually sees me at the local primary school that my children attend making a super yummy lunch for all the kids. On offer today was sausage rolls and banana cake.


I managed to whip up 3 bowls of banana cake batter in the Thermie and have it all cooked in about 1 hour ready to head to school. Pretty good going I rekon!

 

 Heavy cakes like carrot and banana take forever to cook, but I have been making them in my roasting tray and they cook in about 15 minutes which was much better than up to 45. The quicker cooking time means no mega crunchy edges or top crust, its all nice and soft and squishy.....

• 180 g raw sugar

• a pinch salt

• 1/2 tsp Bi Carb Soda

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees

2. Line your baking dish with baking paper, just squash it in till it fits, the cake mix will sort it out!
3. Put your sugar in your bowl and mill for 10 sec on Sp9
4. Add your banana, eggs and butter and mix on sp 5 for 15 sec
5. Add the remaining ingredients and mix again on sp 5 for 15 seconds, scrap down and give another mix if needed.
6. Pour into your baking dish and cook for approx 15 minutes.
7. If no ones has eaten it by the time its cool you could ice it with a cream cheese icing or maybe lemon? I dusted with icing sugar this time.

Bye Bye Mr Egg

Happy Cooking!
