Made Banana Cake Yesterday...

[Smowball]

So so easy, and was so gorgeous and moist. The boys literally wolfed the whole thing down within hours..... lol

Cherry and pineapple was the favourite here.

I don’t normally make cakes but I had some very over ripe bananas to use up.........

[waterboatman]

Good idea.

I used to bake a lot...and ate a lot of cake ;)
All the recipes I used came from an old Betty Crocker booklet that had been my mum's. Banana cake was a favourite of mine. As you say, so easy and virtually foolproof.

Used up 3 old eggs & made a litre of delicious creme caramel. Now my worktop is full of ants :(
