- 1hr 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Yields:
-
1 cake
- Serves:
- 4-6
ingredients
-
Base of cake
- 8 ounces pineapple (canned and well drained, or fresh)
- 2 ounces butter
- 2 ounces brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon golden syrup or 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 bananas (sliced)
-
Cake
- 5 ounces butter or 5 ounces margarine
- 5 ounces caster sugar
- 3 eggs
- 6 ounces self raising flour
directions
- Preheat the oven to 180-190°C/350-375°F/gas mark 4.
- Prepare the fruit, melt the butter and pour into the bottom of a 7 inch ovenproof dish or cake tin (one with a loose base). Top with the brown sugar and golden syrup and arrange the pineapple rings on the glaze. Add a piece of banana in the centre of each ring (you might need only one banana depending on its size).
- For the Cake: Cream the butter (or margarine) and sugar. Gradually beat in the eggs, then fold in the flour. Spread over the fruit then bake for approximately 1 1/4 hours. Turn out, serve hot with a helping of cool double cream which soaks so yummily into the sponge -- or even cold as a cake rather than a dessert.
- Warning: to not leave the remaining cake batter on the side- you'll demolish it! or the kids will :).
- Serves 4 as a dessert, 6 for tea.

Hi, I'm quite new to recipezaar but I have a couple of recipes I would love to share. Most of them are created by myself and my mother who happens to be an awesome cook in my books, so enjoy and let me know what you think! Some of these I'll admit are from my childhood, and my mum always made sure we ate good honest food. I'm not a big fastfood fan tbh and just prefer decent and trustworthy grub which I hope my recipes show!
