Anyone got an easy banana cake or loaf recipe?

[schneebly]

I have a plie of bananas that have gotten awfully ripe quuickly and need to do something with them! Thanks!

2 ripe bananas
175g butter or marg
175g caser sugar
3 eggs
225g self raising flour (I use wholemeal)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
(optional 1/2 teaspoon cinamon if you like it)

Preheat oven to 180

Peel bananas & crush with fork
beat together with butter & sugar
add eggs aternating with flour & baking powder
fold in crushed bananas, vanilla essence & cinamon
por mixture into greased loaf tin
if liked top with long thin slices of banana
bake for about 40mins

4 oz self raising wholemeal flour
half tsp mixed spice
2 oz butter
3 oz raisins
8 oz banana
1 egg, beaten

Preheat oven to 180 / gm 4. Mix flour and spice, rub in butter and stir in raisins. In a separate bowl, mash the banana and egg. Stir into the flour mixture and put into a well-greased tin (fills a small loaf tin I think or I usually double up the quantities and put it in an 8" circular cake tin). Turn oven down to GM 3 / 160 C and cook on the middle shelf for 1 hour or until cooked.

I usually cover it with a mixture of philadelphia cream cheese and fruit spread (about 2 parts cream cheese to one part fruit spread / jam). Blend them together in the liquidiser. This recipe is super healthy as well as easy to make, but actually tastes very good. I've used it as a birthday cake before - it's lovely and sweet.

Thanks guys!
