Banana Cake
Hi friends,
I was inspired again by Tin's Shawarma... So I tried another recipe from Asda's free magazine (June09)...
2 browning medium bananas peeled & mashed with fork
1 large egg
130g self raising flour (1 1/2 cups)
1tsp baking powder
55g butter, softened, plus extra greasing
100g caster sugar (3/4 cups)
1) Preheat the oven 180C. Grease a loaf tin/cake tin with butter
2) In a large bowl, mix everything together, combining well with a fork. You may need to add a drop of milk to achieve a loose dropping consistency, depending on how mushy the banana is. (I put around 2fl oz of milk).
3) Pour into the tin and bake for 35-40min. Leave cool in the tin then turn onto a wire rack.
4) Serve with ice cream and you can dust some icing sugar if you want...
The riper the banana is the better... Super easy & super cheap

You can also use overriped bananas for BANANA FRTIITERS!!!(will try this at some point)

My 64th birthday happened to coincide with the first trip I made to the Philippines last September. To celebrate the occasion, one of Myrna's elderly relatives - a retired Home Economics teacher - baked a similar cake. Delicious!
All five of Myrna's brothers are employed by Uni Fruiti - one of them being Chief Security Officer at a large plantation in Mindanao - and so bananas were always in plentiful supply. Without meaning to criticise Asda
[or any of the other British supermarket giants, for that matter] you'll know only too well, that the home-grown bananas in the Phils are far superior to the imported varieties on sale here ... and even cheaper still! But then, I'm talking about the ripe Cavendish Banana from Davao ... which, I'm told, renders the others "tasteless".

Good job manay

It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good to check up once in a while to make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.

It occurs to me, my earlier post must've given the impression that I'm some kind of "walking advert" for the world-famous Davao Banana. Sorry about that;
I guess I'm just biased. And, in the words of 'Mary Poppins' (circa 1964/5, if my ailing memory serves me correctly!) the Asda cookbook recipe looks [and obviously, tastes] "truly scrumptuous" or "sarap" as bornatbirth says. Many thanks for sharing it (and the pictures) with us, and very well done on your first try!

Jay&Z,that looks beautiful,I always get Banana cake when I am in Davao,it tastes a little spicy,whats that ingredient?A little cinnamon maybe?
Arthur,I have visited several large DOLE plantations in Mindanao,my mate is one of DOLE's head engineers,though he is based in Sri Lanka at the moment working for DOLE-lanka,always loads of free fruit

Hi Arthur,
You're not biased at all... The reasons why bananas here doesnt taste that nice in comparison because they are imported and basically they were picked from the trees when they are still unripen and send ships to the UK.

Hi Zobel,

Thank you guys you have given me inspiration to bake cakes more often. To Aromulus, Tin, Zobel and Sophie.
Special thanks to Sophie for giving me the correct recipe of the leche flan

Looks delicious. I wish I could make a delicious one. In Pinas, I knew a bakeshop and BANANA cake is their specialty. It was really lovely and always missed their banana cake. I am not sure what kind of banana they used as we have different kinds of bananas in Pinas. We have saba, la tundan, lakatan, saging na pula, green lakatan, senyorita and many more
You can make banana fritters here like what I used to do. Just buy lumpia wrapper at chinese store. Cut banana into two and wrap it with brown sugar inside. Then fry it. Originally Posted by Tawi2

Saba, a kind of banana in Pinas is the best one for fritters but we don't have it here.

I haven't seen any Saba bananas here like we have in the PI but Plantain can be a substitute (available in supermarkets). Plantains are firmer, longer and usually require cooking or some other kind of processing before you eat them. Originally Posted by pennybarry

I used ordinary bananas available in all supermarkets...
