By Banana Cake
A delicious cake and a great way to use any ripe bananas that might otherwise be wasted. Banana is also one of your five a day essentials, so it’s a great excuse for making a cake and eating it.

December 5, 2019Mrs Bryntin is often assailed with two or three overripe bananas by myself, with the reasoning that they can probably only be used for a cake now. This is because I hid them when she originally brought the shopping home, so that I could make sure they only get ‘found’ when they’re ready.

December 5, 2019Mixing Metric & Imperial units of measure in one recipe makes me dizzy, or dizzier than usual. BTW, I love banana bread.
