There are a few questions that are notoriously difficult to answer. “How do you solve a problem like Maria?” obviously tops the list of puzzlers, but it’s closely followed by that age-old conundrum, “How do you illustrate a subject like outcome-based commissioning?”

I can’t really claim credit for this little beauty; the recipe comes from a friend of mine. But I can say that every time I make it, the feedback is so joyous and effusive that I’ve started fancying myself as the original domestic goddess. Take a hike, Nigella. It’s a sloppy, chuck-it-all-in kind of recipe, so it’s great for kids and the culinarily challenged. Don’t think ‘culinarily’ is a real word, but it should be.
It’s is called The Cake of Obscenity because it’s full of fat and sugar and all the naughty things that taste nice. A little bit of what you fancy and all that… Anyhow, if you bake it and enjoy it, let me know and I’ll post another recipe. Cheers, Jess x
For the cake mix:
3 bananas – the mushier the better. I used an entirely soft, black-skinned banana in the last cake, and the flavour was immense.
300g self-raising flour
150g soft butter. Make sure it’s soft. It’s a total pain trying to mix hard butter, and you’ll end up with lumps.
130g –150g Demerara sugar, depending on how sweet your tooth
2 medium eggies
2tsp lemon juice
2tbsp oil (plain vegetable or light olive oil will do fine)
Westfield asked us to create something a little bit different for its Spring/Summer fashion campaign. We did. Working with specialist underwater photographer Zena Holloway, we took the season’s hottest trends underwater. The campaign goes live in Westfield shopping centres outside of London this month.

When we set up Sunday, we were keen to support a charitable organisation – and we’re thrilled to have got our chance with The Royal Marsden’s quarterly RM magazine. The 8,000-circulation title is distributed to patients, staff and members, and showcases the outstanding work the hospital does, treating 40,000 patients each year and carrying out vital research into the causes of cancer. We’re delighted to be publishing the title as part of our CSR commitment.
