I baked this easy and rather wonderful banana cake, however, I added my own twisted to it: Golden caster sugar, cinnamon & vanilla and it taste delicious!

Thank you. Just made this lovely cake. Had to use golden caster sugar, 3 medium bananas and only took 45 minutes in my oven. I also added half a pack of milk chocolate chips!I didnt have a loaf tin so put it in a round tin with removable base. Absolutely gorgeous!

Do not use 6oz sugar, is far too sweet. Can't even eat it! I would make again but only use about 4.

Absolutely easy peasy ! kids mixed it all themselves and went in a lumpy gloop of very dodgy looking yellow and came out gorgeous well risen delicious cake ! Thank you
