Banana Bread / Cake

I love this recipe!!!
Preparation time: 10m

Baking time: 50m

200 g sugar (I use raw but any would work)

125 g butter

250 g medium very ripe bananas (around 3)

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 eggs

225 g Plain Flour

1 Tbs Baking powder

1/2 teaspoon bicarb soda

120 g Milk

*** This time I made it I used 100g of sugar and 1/2 cup of maple syrup (add extra 1/2 tsp of bicarb soda and reduce milk to 100g) Delicious and just a little healthier. I think if you aren't an overly sweet person like me you could even just half the sugar, its got great flavour it doesn't need it and you could even add some cinnamon. I made some in mini muffin tins and sprinkled some with choc chips and some with chia seeds for something different. Enjoy

Cream Cheese Icing (optional - its really moist so doesn't really need it)

90 g cream cheese

45 g Butter softened

210 g icing sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice



1. Preheat oven. to 170 degress celsius. Grease and line a 22cm cake tin (or loaf and a couple of muffin holes)

2. Place sugar, (mill on speed 7 for 3 seconds if using raw sugar), butter, banana, vanilla and eggs into bowl speed 6 for 1 min. With around 10 seconds to go add milk.

3. Add flour and bicarb and mix on speed 4 until just combined. (2 seconds). Pour batter into tin.

4. Bake for about 50 - 60 mins, or until a skewer or knife inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.

5. Leave cake to cool on a wire rack. Spread cooled cake with cream cheese icing.

6. Mix cream cheese and butter on speed 4 for 10 seconds. Add icing sugar and lemon juice and mix until smooth.
