Easy Banana Cake
Recipe by:
xuthus1972
The easiest banana cake to make, just right for using up those very ripe bananas in the fruit bowl! I make this one in a loaf tin then you can cut slices and butter them for an after school treat.

Easy
Definitely needs 20 mins longer than stated when cooking in a conventional gas oven. Turned it up to no. 4 in the end

One of the best banana cakes I have ever made! I used a dash more vanilla extract and added baking powder. I also threw in chopped almonds and walnuts. Delicious!

Great receipe although I had 3 over-ripe bananas which I used and it was delicious! After reading some of the other comments I might try it without milk the next time.

I baked this for my mum...used 2 quite large bananas, forgot to add the milk, and sprinkled cranberries on the top. It was delicious. I got a thumbs up from everyone that tried it. Very tasty cake and is likely to please any banana lover

Really easy to make, does need a little longer than 35 mins though, mine were nearly 45 mins to an hour but came out great and tasted just the same. Kids love it and even the wife does. Made two already.
