Now I don’t need to tell you all its been a little warm recently, no complaining from me I love the sun. What I don’t love is food waste and I don’t know about you but banana are going brown and overripe very quickly in this heat. What better way to use them up than making cake! Take it on a picnic, or freeze. Just don’t waste whole bunches of banana’s :)
This recipe will make a standard loaf cake. Half the recipe to make a batch of cupcakes or 5 mini loaf cakes.
