Banana Cake
This Banana Cake is a favourite in our house and gets made quite a lot. This recipe uses 3 brown bananas but you can make it with any number of bananas you have. The rule is 2 oz of flour/sugar/butter and one egg per banana.
Tia's tip
If you are using chocolate make sure you get it on top of the cake as soon as it comes out of the oven
