Scrummy Ginger Banana Cake !

"The 3 of us ate half of this cake in one go! That's why I called it scrummy! Do make the lemon frosting as the contrast of lemon with the richness of banana and ginger is great! I tweaked this recipe from an Australian Women's Weekly one. Would love to hear what you think!"

directions

  • Grease and line a 20cm ring pan (I used an ordinary round one).
  • Cream butter, syrup and butter until fluffy and light (use an electric mixer if you have one).
  • Add egg, mix well, then add the mashed banana.
  • Sift in the dry ingredients and add the milk. Stir well.
  • Pour mix into the pan and bake for about 45 mins at 180c, 350f, gas mark 4.
  • Let it stand in the pan for about 5 mins before putting onto a wire rack to cool.
  • Spread frosting onto cold cake, and sprinkle ginger over if you fancy!
  • Lemon Frosting: Mix powdered sugar and butter with enough lemon juice to make it spreadable. Do taste it before spreading as you may want a touch more lemon!
  • Enjoy!

  1. This cake was yummy and I especially liked the lemon frosting. It made a nice contrast to the other flavors. I used the glazed ginger on top and it was a nice touch. Made for PAC 2007. Thanks Tina and Dave.
