Banana Cake

excuse the not so good pictures, it was a rainy day.

This was the best banana cake I have ever had. EVER. It was so light and soft. I was not so sure about the coffee icing but it complimented it so very well. I would have never imagined the combination to taste as good as it did. I could seriously eat this everyday and never get sick of it. I have plans to make this again and again.


Banana Cake
from Cathie Cooks Food
3 - 5 over ripe bananas
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

(I also added a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg)

Whip the banana's for about 5 minutes. Then add eggs and vanilla

Combine next five dry ingredients in a bowl, then add to the banana mixture.

Pour the batter in a greased and floured pan. Any size will do. This mixture will also fit nicely into 2 loaf pans.

(I dont have any load pans, so I used 6 mini bundt pans and baked then for 25-30 minuets)

Bake at 350 F for 40 minutes, and then check with a clean dry knife. If it comes out clean it's done. If not give it another 10 minutes and check again.

The lovely dripping frosting.

Icing:

I use a coffee flavoured icing for this cake. It might sound wierd, but it's really delicious.

(I didn't have any coffee already made so I just added a few instant coffee granules and it worked just fine)

1 cup of confectioners sugar
Drizzel in some coffee a little at a time and mix until you have the consistency you want, and then ice the cake!
