This is based on another recipe which I modified for our taste. It's very moist with a great banana flavour (as long as you use really overripe ones). Because there is not a lot of sugar, most of the sweetness comes from the bananas; it is not intended to be an overly sweet cake so please don't give this recipe a poor review simply because you are expecting it to be sweeter. Having said that, it still makes a really nice afternoon tea while being quite low in saturated fat for a cake and full of fruit. You can try adding more sugar if you like but of course then it won't be as healthy.

SERVES 8 -10 , 8 -10 slices (change servings and units)

Ingredients

400 g bananas, very ripe
2 cups self-raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup sunflower oil or low-fat butter
1/3 cup low-fat milk
2 eggs
1 punnet fresh blueberries

Directions

1
Preheat your oven to 180°C Line the bottom of a 20cm deep round cake pan with baking paper, then grease it.
2
Mash bananas with a fork.
3
Sift baking powder and flour into a bowl and then stir in the sugar.
4
Mix the oil (or butter, if using), milk, bananas and eggs in another bowl, then mix with the flour-sugar mixture.
5
Pour half of the batter into the cake pan, spinkle half the blueberries over the top, then top with the rest of the batter.
6
Decorate the cake with the remaining blueberries and then bake in the oven for 50-55 minutes.
7
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then gently turn out onto a rack to finish cooling.
8
Serve with sweetened cream or ice cream for a yummy afternoon tea!
