Yesterday I decided to use up some very ripe bananas that were looking a bit sad and unwanted in my fruit bowl. I also had some buttermilk to use up and a couple of passion fruit. I searched the net and based my recipe on the following two: 96five.com taste.com.au.
The result was delicious. The icing is very special indeed.
Ingredients:
125g margarine
1 1/2 cups caster sugar
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups mashed banana (I used 4 small very ripe bananas)
100ml buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups self raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
For the icing:
1 1/2 cups icing sugar
1 tsp margarine
pulp of 2 passion fruit
Method:
Preheat oven 180C (160C fan forced).
Grease and line a 20cm round cake tin.
Cream margarine and sugar and then beat in the eggs one at a time followed by the vanilla, buttermilk and mashed banana. Finally beat in the flour and baking powder.
Bake for about 50 minutes until a skewer comes out clean when poked into the centre of the cake.
Icing: Mix the ingredients in a small bowl and spread on cooled cake
