Banana Cake - Recipe

Hey everyone!

It's been while, ayeh?

However, I come bearing recipes. :D

A couple of weeks ago I started a temp job in a Childcare Centre where I get to prepare meals from scratch for the children.

It's a good challenge, I have to be aware of intolerances and allergies, prepare things in large quantities and on a timely manner - but other than that I get to have fun with the recipes.

My first experience baking for them was a wholemeal banana cake.

I started my prep as always, getting all the ingredients sorted before starting, and as I was doing that, I realised that we didn't have some of the ingredients of the recipe. Time for some improv.

I gathered the stuff we had and I had some fun with it. It worked out great, everyone loved it!

For me, this is what it's all about! :D

Now I want to share it with all of you.
Enjoy. ;)

Ingredients:

4 eggs
1 1/2 cup of brown sugar
3/4 cup of rice bran oil
1 cup of wholemeal flour
2 cups of plain flour
3 tsp of cream of tartar
1 1/2 tsp of baking soda
1/2 cup of milk
2 tsp of honey
4 riped bananas - mashed

Prep:

Pre-heat oven to 180°c.
In a bowl, mix the plain and wholemeal flour, baking soda and cream of tartar.
In a cup mix the milk and honey.
Mash the bananas on a plate and reserve.

(These are my standard steps for all the recipes I make. It makes the cake fluffy).

Using a mixer, beat the eggs for about 2 minutes.
Add the oil and mix it for another minute. Add the sugar and leave it beating for one more minute.

Add to the egg/oil/sugar mixture half of the bananas, beat for 30 seconds and add the rest for another 30 seconds.
Add half of the flour mix to the mixer and beat until well combined, add the milk-honey and finally the rest of the flour.
Grease and flour one large or two small tins and spread the mix evenly.
Take it to the oven for about 40 min or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.

Frosting:

1 lemon
3 tbsp of butter or Nutelex
1 3/4 cups of icing sugar.

Beat butter until soft and add the rest of the ingredients.

And that's it! Wait until it's cold, place the frosting and be happy. :D

Hope you've all enjoyed it.

Cheers,
Dee.
