I found a thread on here for asking about banana cake recipes. Yippee!

1 lb of flour (s.r.) 1lb of brown sugar 1 lb. of margerine 8 eggs 6 bananas couple of spoons of bicarb. Mix everything together and cook in bread tins on number 5 , but cannot remember for how long, but after half an hour, check, if not cooked cover with foil to prevent the top burning. Irish cake-lush 3 cups of mixed fruit 3 cups of flour 3 cups brown sugar 3 cups cold tea 1lb margerine not forgetting the bicard mix all together and cook, covering if top, looks like getting over brown. Add a big dollop of honey or treaqcle for axtra special flavour. My books are in the car, I will search them out for you.

Banana Bread. 1 cup (8fl.oz) vegetable oil 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup white sugar 2 eggs 2 cups mashed bananas (or about 1lb) 3 cups flour half teasp vanilla essence 2 teasp bicarb of soda 1 1/2 cups of raisins,walnuts,pecans (optional) OR experiment with something different like can drained crushed pineapple OR mincemeat. Spice cinnamon,nutmeg,allspice-use to your taste (optional) Mix ingredients in order given. Grease tins well or line with baking parchment. Bake at 350 F or 175C for approx 1 hour for 2 lb tins or 45 mins for 1 lb tins. Above mixture will divide into 2 x 2 lb loaf tins or equivalent.

Sorry Jane - hope you've saved me one :o) LOL Thanks Judith, I'll try that one next week. I'll have to tell family not to eat the bananas though! What temperature oven is that cooked at? Sue xx

you have got me at it now, just been and made banana muffins, had no intention of making them before reading this thread. you must be a bad influence on me pmsl Jane xxx

Thanks Paula, I'm off to have a look now. That one sounds delicious, I'll let you know how it turns out :o) Sue xx

Oops! I forgot to put my brackets in, lets try again! http://allrecipes(.)com/recipe/banana-banana-bread/detail(.)aspx

Sue, Try this website........ http://allrecipes.com/recipe/banana-banana-bread/detail.aspx It is an American website but you can change the measurements from US to Metric with the click of a button. I have not tried this particular recipe though, but how bad can Banana Bread be? Let me know how it works out!

I have one but my measurements are American~ are you any good at converting? I never add nuts to mine either as the kids hate nuts! Let me know if I can help. Paula

Im not one for Bananas but couldnt you make a normal cake mixture, puree the Bananas and mix them in ???

Steve, that sounds delicious :o) Doesn't anyone have a banana cake recipe though, please. Sue xx

Does anyone have a recipe for Banana Bread or Cake please? I had one I used years ago, but now I have 4 really ripe bananas (too ripe to eat) - VERY unusual in this house - I can't find it! I have googled, but there are so many recipes! Anyone got a tried & tested recipe I can use? No nuts though as grandaughter is allergic and has to taste all my cakes! Have to go out for a while, but I'll be back later. Thanks Sue xx
