Bread Machine Banana Cake

What to do with those soft, nearly black bananas?

I have made this recipe so many times, with my old faithful bread machine. The bread machine I was desperate for, for my wedding, but everyone said I would never use it, and I do - all the time!

This is the easiest cake recipe ever!

Ingredients

• 260g (9 oz) plain flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• 150g (5 oz) caster sugar
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 2 bananas

Method

Throw everything in the bread machine, turn on dough setting for 10 mins, then bake setting for 1 hr 10 or until a skewer comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.

I often make this for friends, I've given it to a friend who hadn't long had a baby and today I'm taking my little person to a play date and bringing it along too, goes great with a nice cuppa.

I've also made this with kiwi.

Kitchen gadgets

I love kitchen gadgets !

We do have many, such as my bread maker (used once or twice a month), slow cooker (used once or twice a month), kenwood chef (used once or twice a month), Philips juicer (used twice in 3 years), food hydrator (used every few months at the most) and a tefal actifry (used once or twice a month - usually for chips!)

So today I decided to be extra lazy/ healthy and use 2 of them.

I've steamed some basmati rice in the slow cooker (also a rice cooker and steamer), and cooked a stir fry in the actifry! Easiest meal ever, although I haven't washed up yet!
