Banana cake
A recipe sent in by Cool Planet visitor Liam.
Ingredients
250g (8oz) organic white self-raising flour
1/4 of an organic nutmeg, ground (a challenge to find, but it does
exist, honest!)
1 teaspoon organic cinnamon (also can be a challenge to find)
125g (4 oz) organic butter
125g (4 oz) organic caster sugar
125g (4oz) organic margarine
grated rind of an organic lemon
2 organic free range eggs
3 medium Fairtrade bananas, mashed with a fork (it is better if
they are a bit old and squashy)
handful of organic sultanas
6 heaped tablespoons organic set honey
1 whole firm fairtrade banana (optional)
Method
Heat oven to 180°C/Gas Mark 4.
Sieve the flour, nutmeg and cinnamon into a bowl, and rub in the
margarine. Using a wooden spoon, fold in the sugar, eggs, lemon
rind, sultanas, mashed bananas and honey.
Pour half of the mixture in the tin, drop in the whole firm banana
and add the rest of the mixture.
Bake for 1¼ to 1½ hours or until a skewer pushed into
the cake comes out clean (avoid pushing into the whole banana!).
Leave to cool in the tin for ten minutes before turning out onto
a rack to cool. Slice, spread with organic butter, eat.
