Super Easy Banana Cake

I got this super easy Banana Cake from Donna Hay -she always inspired me with all her simple recipe-.

Having 'rotten' banana in my pantry was a good excuse to turn it into banana cake -rather than bin it!

So here the recipe:

125g butter, softened  1 cup (220g) caster (superfine) sugar  ¼ cup (45g) brown sugar  3 eggs  2 cups (300g) plain (all-purpose) flour  2 teaspoons baking powder  1 teaspoon ground cinnamon  ¾ cup (180g) sour cream  1 cup roughly mashed banana And this is how: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).  Place the butter, caster sugar and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until light and creamy.  Gradually add the eggs and beat well.  Sift the flour and baking powder over the mixture.  Add the cinnamon, sour cream and banana and stir to combine. Spoon the mixture into a greased 26cm fluted ring tin. Bake for 40 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer.  Cool on a wire rack.  The original recipe come with extra caramel sauce topped onto this cake once it cooked and place on a wire rack. I skipped this part -just for the sake of saving time- and the cake was huge hit among my children. I also tried to swap the banana with carrot on other time, with approximately same amount of shredded carrot (about 1cup). Happy baking :-)
