Do you have a breadmaker? I found an easy recipe for banana cake while doing a google search. It's for the panasonic breadmaker but apparently you can adapt it for your own machine (esp. if it has a cake setting). I was sceptical at first, but I'm typing while eating the first slice!! It's delicious.
You can play around with the ingrediants, use less sugar, part whole wheat flour, add cinnamon or nutmeg, etc. I have also used other over-ripe fruits like pears and it turned out fantastic.
In the breadmaker bucket, put in any order:
2-3 over-ripe bananas
1 cup (or less) sugar
3 tbsp veg oil
2 eggs
2 cups self-raising flour
Put on pizza cycle for about 5 mins (you have to switch the machine off at 5 minutes)
- scrape down the corners with a spatula about 1/2 way through to make sure everything is mixed.
( I left the lid up and scraped 3/4 times)
Put on bake cycle for 55 mins.
My own handmade recipe is:
9oz c. sugar
6oz butter or marg
3 eggs
3 ripe bananas mashed with 3tblsp milk
8oz plain flour
3tsp baking powder
Basically a victoria sponge method folding in the banana mixture at the end. 180C for approx 1 hour depending on cake tin.
