Sunday Bake - Banana Cake

A nice simple recipe for using up those bananas that are a little too ripe to make smoothies...

You will need:

3 bruised black bananas

250g self raising flour

150g vegan sunflower spread

100g golden caster sugar

a nice loaf tin

sunflower for greasing the tin and flour to dust the tin.

For chocolate icing:

2 tblsp vegan spread

3 tblsp icing sugar

1 tsp cocoa

 Pre Heat the oven at 180oC. 

Blend the spread, 1 banana and sugar together in a bowl with a stick blender. In a separate bowl roughly mash the other 2 bananas and set to one side. Sift the flour into the wet mixture bit by bit folding in and then beating a ;little. Lastly stir in the mashed banana.

Grease and dust the baking tin or pan with flour and fill with the mixture leaving at least 1 inch at the top. Bake for 30/40 minutes. Prod with a skewer or knife occasionally to check the centre is cooked!

Once out of the oven leave to cool and then tip out and ice!

 (Comedy icing optional)
