Friday Food

Who's looking forward to the weekend?

I am the best daughter and grand daughter ever! Normally when I bake a cake I make 3 or 4: one for me, mum & dad and my grandpa's. Both of my Nanny's passed away when I was young so I'm pretty sure they appreciate my cakes.

This week I made Banana and Sour Cream Cakes. I only made 3 (mum & dad and grandpa's) though as I hate bananas... Yucky! I opted not to taking a few mixing process pic, it literally looked like vomit in a bowl. So on to the recipe (I doubled this recipe for 1 medium sized and 2 small cakes).

Ingredients:

• 125g butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup caster sugar
• 3 mashed bananas
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 2 cups self-raising flour
• 1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

1. Lightly grease and line a 20cm round cake tin. Preheat the oven to a moderate heat.
2. Cream the butter, essence and sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy with an electric mixer.
3. Add in the eggs one at a time, combining well.
4. Stir in the banana, sour cream and dry ingredients.
5. Spread the mix into prepared tin.
6. Bake for 1 1/4 hours.
7. Stand for 5mins, then turn out onto rack to cool.

 

This is my fur baby and baking buddy (and a few other things)! She is the name sake for the blog, Gypsy. She is a gorgeous, cuddly and fun loving 3 year old Border Collie. She loves cake, in all forms, just like her mummy.

 

Ready to go!

 

 

Done and ready to eat, I hope everyone likes them!

 

Until next time
