Simple Easy Banana Cake Anyone Can Make
Ingredients
- 1 cup of butter
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 cups of self-raising flour
- 2-4 bananas - to taste (Although I sometimes use more as I am a banana freak!)
You will need a cake or loaf tin. I am now a convert and I use the silicone bakeware, these are floppy containers, but the food always slides straight out of them, there's no greasing, nothing ever sticks or burns and to wash them up you simply rinse them out! I can highly recommend you get some.
Simple Easy Banana Cake: Method
- Put the butter and sugar into a bowl and, cream it off.
- Add the flour and egg.
- Mix it all together.
- Add the bananas, sliced, and mix them in.
- Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F
- Place the cake mix in a cake tin and bake for about 45 minutes. You can tell it's cooked if you slide a knife into the middle and it comes out cliean: if you see steam on the knife that's perfect as it means the cake is moist, but there should be no cake mixture on the knife.
Serving Suggestion
Just eat it... you don't need me to tell you how!
Storing Your Banana Cake
Once cooked, you should store your banana cake in a cake tin, or lidded container, to keep it fresh. Wait for it to cool down first. You might like to cover it with tin foil or clingfilm, but if it's in an airtight container it'll be fine.
It should still be moist 3-5 days later.
Alternatively, why not try slicing it and freezing it - so you can readily take a slice out when you need it and defrost it naturally, or use a microwave to defrost it if you're in a hurry.
If you plan to use your banana cake in lunchboxes, then if you slice it and freeze the slices wrapped up, then you can take the frozen slice out of the freezer and put it into a lunchbox in the morning - and it'll have defrosted by lunchtime and helped to keep the rest of the lunchbox items cool.
If your cake is about a week old - and you really think it might be a little dry, you can always serve it hot (microwaved) with a helping of hot custard over the top.
great cake, quick and easy to make. everyone loved it (: i added a little milk too make it wetter, chocolate chips and cinnamon. YUM
i made this cake for my dad and hes loved it so im going to make again and again and again
Thanks very much, this is a great recipe. My housemates loved their dessert tonight!
i didnt made this cake yet, is it okay to put all purpose flour instead of self-raising flour? i know they are both different but i was just wondering
All purpose flour is what we call "plain" and doesn't contain a raising agent. Self-raising contains a raising agent.
So you'd really need to add a teaspoon of baking powder if you use all purpose flour.
I lost my recipe so used yours. I sliced some of the bananas and mashed some and put mixed chopped nuts to it as I didn't have any walnuts and it was great. Thank you and Happy New Year :-)
URGENT: how many people can eat this?
It's a standard loaf tin size. So serves 4-12, depending how large your guests are and how hungry they are!
