Banana & Walnut Cake

I wanted to make a cake that used more natural ingredients without compromising on taste, I've added wheatgerm (best source of Vitamin E) & LSA mix which is common in Australia. You can use ground linseed (flax seed) if you don't have LSA. Make sure the bananas are very ripe! My husband loves this cake and it was a great way to get a treat that is secretly beneficial!
