Banana cake

I read about banana cake over on Sue's blog, a year without. I have been wanting to try it since and only just got round to it tonight. It was super easy to make and smells divine. I will be trying it tomorrow.

  2. I make banana and sultana muffins all the time for my boys as they are one of their favourites. I try and leave some to go a little brown to add to the sweetness.

    1. Lovely, would you mind sharing your recipe? I added a touch more sugar as the ones I used weren't very ripe but I didn't want to wait

    3. Lol I think cakes should be eaten immediate without fail! Although to be fair this one lasted really well. Last piece just eaten by my son as we speak.

    1. Normally we have them but isn't it typical that when I made this we didn't.

  6. I love adding something extra - sunflower seeds, coconut, cranberries (fabulous!). Not all at once. I got a huge bargain bag of yellow stickered bananas last Christmas and everyone got a banana cake with cranberries for part of their present. They went down really well.
