No seriously, freeze the banana, peel it and blend it, then put it back in the freezer and eat it like ice cream.

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.

hmm so if i have self raising flour can i replace the plainflour and baking powder with that?

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?

Excellent, I have 5 overripe bananas. Problem is, it was just ds' birthday and we've been polishing off cake all week, and I think I gained 4kgs, so other than freezing and blending into a drink, are there any other no sugar recipes out there?

Kuraiza; you can reduce the quantity of sugar slightly (I always do). And once your cake(s) have cooled, wrap them glad wrap and freeze (for up to three months). Another idea is to cut up the cake before freezing, and you can just get out small quantities, ie for lunch boxes, afternoon tea, etc.
