Use up those old bananas in a delicious cake. I added blueberries to mine, but you could add any other old soft fruit, such as plums, peaches or raspberries rather than throwing them out! If you make this for your guests when on a job, they will be thrilled because you will be using old fruit instead of throwing it out and they have something yummy to tuck into!
Blueberry & Banana All in One Cake
- 3 over ripe bananas
- 150g caster sugar
- 225g self raising flour (or plain flour and add an extra 2 tsp of baking powder)
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 egg
- 110ml olive oil
- 50g blueberies, plus a few extra (about 6 to dot on the top before baking)
- Optional: 50g dark chocolate chunks
- Pre-heat oven to 170 degrees celcius
- Line an 8 inch round cake tin with baking parchment
- Peel then mash the bananas in a bowl
- Place ALL ingredients into your food processor (I use a Kenwood K Mix for this)
- Whizz on a high speed until all ingredients are combined
- If using chocolate chunks, add these in now and mix in with a spatula
- Add the mixture to your cake tin and dot with extra blueberries on top (if using)
- Bake for approx 30-40 mins until nicely golden on top and a skewer comes out clean
- Decorate with melted white chocolate or sprinkled icing sugar (entirely optional)
- Enjoy with a cup of tea!
