Banana Cake

[Jay&Zobel]

Hi friends,

I was inspired again by Tin's Shawarma... So I tried another recipe from Asda's free magazine (June09)...

2 browning medium bananas peeled & mashed with fork
1 large egg
130g self raising flour (1 1/2 cups)
1tsp baking powder
55g butter, softened, plus extra greasing
100g caster sugar (3/4 cups)

1) Preheat the oven 180C. Grease a loaf tin/cake tin with butter
2) In a large bowl, mix everything together, combining well with a fork. You may need to add a drop of milk to achieve a loose dropping consistency, depending on how mushy the banana is. (I put around 2fl oz of milk).
3) Pour into the tin and bake for 35-40min. Leave cool in the tin then turn onto a wire rack.
4) Serve with ice cream and you can dust some icing sugar if you want...


The riper the banana is the better... Super easy & super cheap

You can use very brown bananas hehe.

Quote from Asda: "Most of us overestimate how much fruit we're actually going to eat, and stock up on far too much at once - so an awful lot ends up in the bin. Which is a shame, reality, when there are loads of delicious and really simple things to do even with fruit that's past its best.

...

You can also use overriped bananas for BANANA FRTIITERS!!!(will try this at some point)

Hi friends,

The riper the banana is the better... Super easy & super cheap

My 64th birthday happened to coincide with the first trip I made to the Philippines last September. To celebrate the occasion, one of Myrna's elderly relatives - a retired Home Economics teacher - baked a similar cake. Delicious!

All five of Myrna's brothers are employed by Uni Fruiti - one of them being Chief Security Officer at a large plantation in Mindanao - and so bananas were always in plentiful supply. Without meaning to criticise Asda [or any of the other British supermarket giants, for that matter] you'll know only too well, that the home-grown bananas in the Phils are far superior to the imported varieties on sale here ... and even cheaper still! But then, I'm talking about the ripe Cavendish Banana from Davao ... which, I'm told, renders the others "tasteless".

Hello again, Zobel,

It occurs to me, my earlier post must've given the impression that I'm some kind of "walking advert" for the world-famous Davao Banana. Sorry about that;I guess I'm just biased. And, in the words of 'Mary Poppins' (circa 1964/5, if my ailing memory serves me correctly!) the Asda cookbook recipe looks [and obviously, tastes] "truly scrumptuous" or "sarap" as bornatbirth says. Many thanks for sharing it (and the pictures) with us, and very well done on your first try!

Hi Arthur,

You're not biased at all... The reasons why bananas here doesnt taste that nice in comparison because they are imported and basically they were picked from the trees when they are still unripen and send ships to the UK.

HI Zobel,
This time I have made banana cake in a rectangular cake dish with cinnamon flavouring. I sliced them into 1 1/2" x 2" and wrapped in a foil and brought to work yesterday. I have distributed them during our coffee/tea break. I have shared to them some filipino dishes i know....I'm soooooo glad my co-workers and Manager loved it. They said more, more..... next time!!!!....

Thanks Zobel..

Cheers!
