Banana Republic

[dotinthesky]

Does anyone know a good recipe for banana cake? I bought about 20 bananas for £1 and now I need to do something with them before they go bad!

Yes, I know I can Google search, but I'd rather try a recipe you know well and love. Cheers. :-)

mine is similar:

cream 1/2 cup of butter (240g) with 1 cup of sugar.
add an egg, 5 tbsp of milk and some vanilla (flavour or sugar)

mix in a separate bowl first: 2 cups of flour, 1 tsp of baking powder and 1/2 tsp of salt.

mix all together and add four (or so) ripe bananas.

bake for an hour at 175°.

(I like to mix half of the dough with the bananas and the other half with cocoa powder, than layer it, more or less, into a casserole dish and bake, that's really nice.)

Actually I think yours sounds better. I think mine might be a little watery..

OMG! I can't believe how long it took me to realize that this 175 degree marker must be CELSIUS! It's already been in a 350 Fahrenheit oven for 40 minutes, now I have to go convert Celsius to Fahrenheit and see what I get.

P.S. The batter is delicious, already. I added 1 tsp cinnamon & some freshly ground nutmeg.
