    Okay,

    Banana Cake

    2 tblsp butter, soft
    3/4 cup brown sugar
    2 tblsp milk
    1 1/2 cups flour
    1 tsp bicarbonate soda
    1 tsp baking powder
    3 bananas, mashed
    1 egg, well beaten

    Preheat oven to 170c fan forced, grease and line a cake tin.
    Cream together butter and sugar, mix in milk, sifted flour, bicarb, baking powder, and bananas.
    Add egg, mix until all combined well.
    Pour into prepared tin, bake for 40 mins or until baked.

    From the All Recipes website I think... It's a fairly dense cake, not really light like a bread. I've had banana 'bread' from McCafe, which was quite dense, but it was toasted and spread with butter. My point is that this isn't like McCafe banana bread, but I think it would be yum sliced and given a bit of a toast..... Enjoy
    Im going to try this. wish me luck. i thought baking soda, and backing powder were the same thing?? hmm. appears i will have to go to the shops to get supplies.

    No, baking soda is bicarb soda.

    Baking powder is a rising agent added to plain flour to make self raising flour.

    Yes TT40, you certainly can.

    On a side note, can a mod maybe add the other thread TT40 started about banana loaf to this one?
