banana cake - help me use up these mushy items my dd has found in the back of the cupboard

[Cappuccino]

we need a good banana cake recipe

we are sad and have lots of ripe bananas

it will cheer us up and use them too

please

This is c&p'd from an email I sent a friend (so apologies if it's not very professional )

'Banana Cake

100g/4oz butter
225g/8oz sugar
3 eggs
225g/8oz mashed ripe banana
150g /5oz milk
225g/8oz flour
10ml baking powder

Put in a big bowl

Mix it until it begs for mercy

pour into a greased and lined 20.5/8? cake tin (or as near as damn it, I use a rectanglular dish)

bake at 180c/350f/GM4 for 1 hour

let it cool in the tin for 10 minutes or so before turning out onto a wire rack to cool

exceeding nice with chocolate buttercream on top, or with custard : )

Obviously this isn?t quite how it?s written in the book, so if you want the exact recipe let me know and I?ll copy it word for word.'

It is nice though

gosh thanks that was quick

dds will be pleased
