Best Banana Cake | Forage and Forge
https://forageforge.com/2016/08/02/best-banana-cake
Adventures in sustainable suburban living. August 2, 2016. I have been making this banana cake for over a decade now and it’s still my favourite way to use up blackened bananas. You know, those ones that are too far gone to be good eating, but not so far past it that they’ve turned into a fruit fly’s sludgey heaven in the bottom of the fruit bowl. You will need a few things besides the squishy ‘nanas…. 1/2 cup raw caster sugar. 1 tsp vanilla essence. 2 large free range eggs (whisk lightly with a fork).
