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!
