Spicy Banana Cake


An easy aromatic and spicy cake to bring some sunshine in the overcast and dull winter days.
I adapted a recipe from a book called Cakes biscuits and slices.
Recipe:

1 cup and a half brown sugar
2 cups flour
2/3 cup dessicated coconut
100 ml sunflower oil
1/2 cup double cream
1/2 cup pureed bananas
1 egg

1 and 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
the crushed seeds of 3-4 cardamom pods
1 vanilla powder


Put in a square tin lined with baking paper and bake about 40 minutes on 170 degrees or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
Leave on a rack to cool and top with icing sugar.

I am working on getting rid of ripe plantains this weekend. I may have to try this recipe out!

Thank you girls! :)

Gretchen, I suppose that if using plantains maybe more sugar will be needed.
