Tararua banana cake

Thanks Tararua for this recipe... http://www.tararua.net.nz/recipes/The-Best-Banana-Cake?r=8&i=4

2 1/2 cups Edmonds Self-Raising Flour
1 tsp Edmonds Baking Soda 
1 cup caster sugar
4 eggs
2 1/2 cups of mashed bananas (about 4 ) 
1 cup oil

- Preheat oven to 180 deg C
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl, mix well.
- Bake cake for approx 90 mins

Icing
250g Cream Cheese
100g Butter
2c icing sugar

Mix all ingredients thoroughly (butter stays lumpy for awhile, keep mixing) and spread over cooled cake.

I made this in two loaf tins, so I could take one cake to work and leave one for Tom. It was delicious, as always! It never dries out, always rises, this is the most fool-proof banana cake recipe EVER. It's worth using a ridiculous amount of oil, I promise.

Oreo & cream cheese truffles

1 packet of oreos
350gm cream cheese
1 packet of cooking chocolate (I used white chocolate buttons, made of cooking chocolate formula)

-Blend the oreos into fine crumbs
- Add cream cheese and stir/squash with the spoon until the mixture is moist, but firm.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave
- Roll oreo mixture into balls, drop into the melted chocolate and fish it out with a spoon (saves the mess, trust me on this one!)
- Put onto a tray with baking paper, and refrigerate for at least a few hours

These are DELISH! I was addicted from the first bite. This is my second time making them now, and the first time was almost a disaster. The mixture was a bit too dry and falling apart in the white chocolate, and we ended up with a bowl of 60% white chocolate and 40% oreo remnants. So this time I learnt to make it moist, and use a spoon (well actually, the spoon was Tom's idea). Bring on morning tea tomorrow!
