Marion’s Banana and Walnut Cake

by Marion Farmer. Categories: Recipes .

This cake is delicious, quick and easy to make.The amount of sugar is reduced because the banana has natural sweetness. I have substituted rapeseed oil for cooking margarine as it is a healthier option. Using this method you do not need a food processor.

Ingredients

  • 225g (8oz) self raising flour
  • 1 level teaspoon baking powder
  • 55g (2oz) demerara sugar
  • 2 large ripe bananas
  • 55g (2oz) walnut pieces
  • 55g (2oz) sultanas
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons rapeseed oil
  • milk to mix

  20cm cake tin (or similar)

Method

  1. Sieve flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl. Add sugar. Cut bananas into small pieces and add to bowl.Add walnut pieces and sultanas and mix.
  2. Break eggs into a separate bowl and beat well. Add rapeseed oil to egg and beat again. Mix egg and oil mixture into dry ingredients carefully. Add sufficient milk to mixture so that it will drop from a metal spoon.
  3. Grease and flour cake tin and fill with the mixture. Bake for about 35 minutes at 180° centigrade.
