Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups self-raising flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 cup caster sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups mashed bananas (about 4 bananas)
  • 1 cup oil

Method

Sift the flour and soda into a bowl.  Make a well and stir in the sugar, eggs, banana and oil.

Mix gently to a smooth batter. 

Pour into a greased and baking paper lined 20cm round tin.

Bake at 160deg C for approximately 11/2 hours.

Ice with lemon cream cheese icing.

Cream Cheese Icing

100g cream cheese

3-4 cups icing sugar

60g butter, softened

Juice of 1/2 lemon

2 tsp. lemon zest

Method

Blend these all together vigorously.  I use my food processor.  Add more lemon juice if you prefer a sharper, more distinctively lemon flavour.
