Best banana cake recipe?

[cakedup]

I used to have a great recipe for a simple, wholemeal banana cake which was delicious, but I've lost it. The last recipe I used was a bit dry.

Ds wants me to make one for his birthday. Anyone got a healthy-ish (i prefer using wholemeal and no or little sugar) simple-ish, tasty fool proof recipe?

I've looked online but there's literally millions of them.

I've used this one for years

It's 100g sugar but in the past I've used less or used agave to replace.

Mash 2 large (or 3 small) ripe bananas. Mix in quarter a cup each of: vegan milk, nut butter, maple syrup. Add 2 cups of flour (I use mixture of wholemeal & spelt), 2 tsp baking powder, 2 tsps ground cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla (alternatives = just 1 tsp cinnamon and two tbsp cocoa OR 1 tsp cinnamon and two tbsp carraway seeds). Put in greased 1 lb loaf tin. Bake at gas 4 or 5/ 180 or 190C until a skewer comes out clean (at least half an hour and up to 50 minutes - is quite forgiving on specifics)

This seriously yummy recipe is from the Lone Star restaurant in Barbados. Replace the butter with Flora (vegan) if required.
OVEN ...

Pre-heat to 180c (350f)

INGREDIENTS ...

3 or 4 over-ripe bananas mashed in a large bowl

3 ozs melted butter

8 ozs caster sugar

8 ozs flour

1 x egg, beaten

1 x tsp vanilla essence

1 x tsp baking soda

Pinch of salt

METHOD ...

Simple. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas and then add all the other ingredients.

Pour into a loaf tin - I prefer to use a silicone one. I top with a fine mist of Demerara sugar (optional).

COOKING ...

Bake for 50-60 minutes. Check that it’s done by using a skewer; it should come out clean.

Cool for at least 30-minutes. I decant onto a rectangular plate after about 10 minutes.

When cool serve as is, or with a fine spread of butter.

Seriously yummy.

Try banana cake with a thin-ish layer of chocolate icing - popular in my country years ago!

I've definitely used this one before! I thought it was the one that came out a bit dry but maybe not....

Ooh not seen one with nut butter and milk before, looks good.

Thanks but this has egg....could replace with flax seed I suppose but don't want to experiment on this occasion!

Just to confirm, you've tried this recipe yourself?
