Banana cake recipe

Ingredients

• 100 g / 3,5 oz butter
• 3 dl / 1 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 5 dl / 2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking soda ( 1 tsk bakpulver, 1 tsk bikarbonat)
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 bananas
• 1/2 dl / 1/4 cup cold strong coffee

How to
Preheat oven to 175 C/350 F. Butter a cake tin and sprinkle with breadcrumbs, flour or shredded coconut (my fave). Mix butter and sugar until soft. Mix in one egg at a time. Add all the dry ingredients. Mash the bananas. Carefully stir mashed bananas and cold coffee into batter. Pour into cake tin. Bake in lower part of oven for about an hour. Let cool for a few minutes, then flip onto a plate.

Variations

• Add chopped walnuts to the batter
• Use a cake tin with a hole in the middle, and fill with fruits or berries after baking (strawberries, mango and passion fruit goes well with the banana cake)
• Frost the cake with a mix of Fluff and cream cheese
