Title: Dark Banana Ginger Cake
Categories: Cakes
Yield: 1 Cake
200 g Dark muscovado sugar
300 g Ripe bananas
125 ml Sunflower oil
4 md Eggs
75 g Glace ginger; chopped
200 g Wholemeal bread flour
3 ts Baking powder
The surprising thing with this cake is how delectable and rich the
flavour is, given how basic the ingredients are. Though I try to hold
back from eating too many cakes, this one had me sneaking back late
at night. Keep it simple, but if you get the urge, a little spice or
roughly chopped nuts won't hurt. If you don't have muscovado, use
caster sugar, but replace 25 g of that with black treacle.
Line the base of a deep, 20 cm square cake tin with nonstick paper.
Put the sugar and bananas in a bowl and mash until almost smooth (the
odd bits doesn't matter). Beat in the oil and eggs, and stir in the
ginger. Add the flour and baking powder, stir well, then pour into
the tin. Bake at 170°C (150°C fan-assisted)/335°F/gas mark 3 for
50-60 minutes, or until a careful poke with a skewer in the centre
doesn't reveal any uncooked mixture lurking beneath the crust.
