Hi All,

Not sure anyone is interested but here is my recipe for nutritious  cheap as chips banana cake with no fat.

3 large ''ripe'' banana's ( I get in the bargain bin on Mondays in greengrocers for about 9pence)

2 eggs,

8oz plain flour,

6oz sugar (I use granulated and never bother buying ''caste''r as no different in cakes whatsoever)

1teaspoon of salt.

1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda,

And if wanted nuts ( I use walnuts) cheaper in weigh out loose shops or Lidls.

Place bananas,eggs and sugar in bowl and whizz till soft and ''frothy'' with plenty of air in mix.

Next sift in dry ingredients and whisk lightly.

Then pour into a tin or any pan. I like to lay some whole walnuts on the top to look attractive.

Bake for 1 hour on 170 fan oven or gas 4 ( can cover with foil if top is going too brown halfway through)

will keep 1 week in a tin,or longer in fridge. Sometimes I cut in half when cool and it freezes beautifully.

can be spread with butter if wanted ''YUMMY''
