Preheat oven to a moderate temperature 180ºC or 350ºF
Cream butter, sugar and vanilla together
Beat in eggs, one at a time
Mash bananas well with a fork then beat into the creamed mixture
Fold in flour and soda, then stir in milk
Line a cake tin (or ring tin) with baking paper. (I line the base and cut off the extra paper and grease the sides with butter)
Spoon onto the baking tin and bake at 180ºC or 350ºF (moderate oven) for 45 mins or until cooked. Test with a skewer and if it comes out clean, then it is ready.
Cool in the tin for a few minutes before turning out onto a cake cooler.
You can serve it warm drizzled with custard or when the cake is cool, ice it with either a butter cream icing or cream cheese icing.
Cream Cheese Icing - mix 125g of soft cream cheese, 1 cup of icing sugar and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Mix to a smooth consistency and top the delicious banana cake!! Enjoy 🙂
