BANANA CAKE

This is a 'last minute' cake which comes from a Nigella recipe for banana butterscotch muffins. It works for both tea (covered in icing sugar) and  breakfast. If you ice it lightly with Royal Icing or with chocolate ganache and put sprinkles on top, it becomes a birthday cake.
You need
3 ripe bananas
125 ml sun flour oil
2 eggs
250 gr plain flour
100 g2 caster sugar
half tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp baking powder

Mash the bananas. Mix the eggs and the oil by beating them together with a fork. Add the sugar. Separately mix the flour, bicarb and baking powder and add this mixture to the eggs, sugar and oil one. Beat lightly still with a fork. Add the bananas. Pour it all into a greased (with a bit of extra sun flour oil) round tin and bake it in a preheated over at 200 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

Children like mashing the bananas and beating with the fork. The cake is not dense, so if you let the kids icing it keep an eye on them or you will end up with more icing and sprinkles than cake itself.
