Banana Cake

Sometimes it's nice to indulge and this banana cake is surely one of those times.. It's extremely rich but completely addictive... 
I went to stay with my mum for a week over the New year and this recipe is one of her long standing fail proof delights. So I decided to make it GF and dairy free, or as I call it "Soph friendly"
With so many friends and family wandering in and out of the house all day long and me placing the cake strategically on the kitchen table, it was little wonder the entire thing was gone in about 2 hours!


One tip though: Your bananas need to be extremely ripe, so ripe that you can hardly spot an inch of yellow... You want them black and very soft!!! 
In other words, don't throw out your old bananas... 


Banana Cake 




What you need:
1 cup raw sugar
125 grams Nuttelex
1 1/2 cups plain GF flour
1 egg
3 (very ripe) bananas 
1tsp vanilla essence

2tbs soy milk
11/2tsp baking powder


What to do:
Pre heat oven to 180 degrees cel and grease and line a cake tin with baking paper. 
Beat the sugar and Nuttelex in a large mixing bowl, until pale and creamy. Then beat in the egg. 
In another bowl mash bananas with a fork and add vanilla essence. Transfer to the beaten mixture.
