Banana Cake

 
Recipe:
130g butter (softened)
¾ cup sugar
2 eggs
2 large ripe bananas (diced into small pieces)
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoon hot milk
2 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Add bananas one at a time, again beating well after each addition.  Stir baking soda into hot milk and add to mixture.  Sift flour and baking powder into mixture and fold.  Place mixture into a 20cm greased cake tin and bake at 180˚C for 50 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched (or until you can insert and then remove a skewer cleanly).  Leave cake in the tin for 10-15 mins before turning it out on to a cooling rack.

Banana cake is best served with chocolate or cream cheese icing. Enjoy!
