Banana cake


125 g Butter
1 Egg
1 tsp Vanilla
2 very ripe Bananas
¼ cup Milk
¾ cup Sugar
1½ cups Self-raising flour

- Melt butter, sugar and vanilla in a saucepan and leave to cool.
- mash bananas, add to butter and stir until combined
- Add egg, mix well and stir in flour
- Add milk and mix lightly
- Bake at 170deg C for 40 mins or until knife comes out clean 

Yes, this cake is short. No, I didn't screw it up. The original recipe didn't specify what size tin to use, so I used my large(r) tin - turns out that was the wrong choice. Use a small one. I also used 3 bananas instead of 2, so I am told it is nice and flavoursome, and I iced it with vanilla-grapefruit icing. Banana cake is always yummy anyway!
