My sister read it and baked it and I ate it. This cake will cheer anyone up! It's that good... its higher grade Banana Cake... moist and full of flavour.
She thought the cake's icing could have looked neater but she had to virtually throw it at the cake, as a hand-full of us had rushed in with our plates ready.
200g wholewheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
100g brown sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil
100 ml yoghurt / buttermilk
4 mashed bananas
handful of chopped walnuts/pecans - optional
Sift flour, baking powder, spices & salt. Set aside. Whisk wet ingredients together in a jug. Add bananas and sugar (can use up to 130g for a sweeter cake if you are not going to ice it) to jug and blend. Combine gently with flour mixture, adding nuts (if using).
Spoon into a greased baking tin and bake for 30 minutes (or till skewer comes out clean) in a pre-heated oven of 180 deg Cel. Cool in tin.
Remove and coat cake with cream cheese icing and decorate with walnuts/pecans.
Cream cheese icing
100g cream cheese
40g butter
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
300 g icing sugar
Cream together the butter and cream cheese. Add rest and beat till fluffy.
