as I am currently in the process of moving, I have found some lovely guest bloggers to take over for me until I'm all settled. today's guest bloggers is Michelle who blogs over at Satchels and Pears, I am really happy to have her on the blog today as she's one of my favourite blogging ladies.
I just want to say a big thank you to Magdalena for allowing me to guest post on her blog whilst she moves over to the UK! I hope to be seeing her shortly too!
I thought I would share with you an easy banana cake recipe which doesn't take long to prepare not long to bake, and goes fabulously with a nice cup of tea!
What you will need:
175g butter (or margarine as I used)
100g light soft brown sugar
75g caster sugar
225g self raising flour
half a teaspoon of baking powder
half a teaspoon of ground ginger
one teaspoon of cinnamon
half a teaspoon of vanilla extract
3 large eggs
2 medium bananas (I think the black, ripe ones are best)
and soft brown sugar to top the cake before it goes in the oven
What to do:
- cream the light soft brown sugar, caster sugar and butter together
- beat the eggs and add the vanilla extract
- beat the eggs and add the vanilla extract
- mix the dry ingredients together; flour and spices with the baking powder
- add half of the beaten eggs, along with half of the dry ingredients in with the creamed butter and sugar mixture, keep beating until there are no lumps and all the dry ingredients are combined with the wet
- mash the bananas until there are no lumps
- add the mashed banana mixture to the cake batter
- pour the cake batter into a greaseproof paper lined tin (can be a loaf tin if desired)
- sprinkle with soft brown sugar
- sprinkle with soft brown sugar
- bake at 180/160 fan assisted/gas mark 4 for approximately an hour (always best to test after around 45 minutes with a skewer to see if it's cooked)
- leave to cool on a wire rack or in the tin before serving
And hey presto!
You have a lovely banana loaf cake which goes well with afternoon tea!

aww no that's silly :/ I'm sure you'll get to try it eventually though :) xx
Yeah, I think I might just take a trip to the in-laws & offer to do afternoon tea in exchange for their oven hehe!
If I try the recipe I'll report back to let you know how I go on :)
