Here's the recipe :
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 125g butter, softened
- 2-3 large mashed bananas
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate soda
- 100ml buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups/ 225gr self raising flour
I use a springform pan (22cm diameter) for easy removal of the cake, and grease the side and base and line base of the pan with non-stick baking paper.
How to make :
- Sift flour and bicarbonate soda together into a large bowl, put aside.
- With food processor, place butter, sugar, banana, vanilla and eggs ( if you dont have food processor , use your mixer).
- Process for about 2-3 minutes, and scrape down side of food processor.
- Add in buttermilk, process again with the processor to combine
- Add flour mixture to food processor and process until just combined.
- Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.
Leave cake to cool on a wire rack, best if you spread with cream cheese icing.
