Day 30: Banana cakes

I have used this banana cake recipe for years, and have baked it into all sorts of shapes - from the original large loaf, to muffins .... to these mini loaves.

75g margarine
100g soft light brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 medium bananas
250g sultanas
250g self raising flour
1tsp ground mixed spice
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Cream margarine and sugar.  Mix in the eggs, beating well.  Peel and mash the bananas and them to the mixture, together with the sultanas.  Stir in the flour and spices.  Pour into 2 greased 1lb loaf tins and bake at Gas 4 / 180C / 170C fan /350F for 35 to 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.  Adjust the timings for other tins, the mini loaves shown took 20 minutes to bake.  They freeze very well.

See you tomorrow!
