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)
