Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 300 g Ripe Bananas - 1 1/2 Cups when mashed
  • 1/3 Cup (80 ml) oil - flavourless (I used sunflower oil)
  • 1/3 Cup (80 ml) melted butter
  • 100 g white granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 Cups (180 g) Whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp each of ginger, cardamom, cinnamon and all spice powder - you can omit any that you don't like or have
  • 2 Tbs Milk powder

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the sufuria oven. Add 1 cup salt to the sufuria, place a wire rack on top of the salt, cover sufuria, heat on high heat for fifteen minutes. If baking in oven set it at 180 C.

  2. In a mixing bowl add all the wet ingredients and whip until completely smooth. 

  3. Sift in all the dry ingredients and fold until just fully incorporated into the wet ingredients.

  4. Pour into a 7 X 2" tin that has been oiled, lightly floured and lined at the bottom with parchment paper.

  5. Tap the cake tin to release any trapped air bubbles from the batter.

  6. Place the baking tin in the sufuria oven, cover and reduce heat to medium low. Bake for forty minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Make sure to start checking on it at the the thirtieth minute, if it's not done,  bake it for a further five minutes and check again. If baking in the oven bake for thirty to thirty five minutes.

  7. Remove from the heat and leave it to cool for ten minutes while in the baking tin. Over turn it on to a wire rack until completely cooled.

SERVING

  1. You could slice and serve the banana cake as is or you could turn it in to a dessert by coating it with a cream of your choice.

  2. This moist banana cake can be served as a snack or accompanied by your favourite drink.

  3. A light sprinkling of powdered sugar will add a more aesthetically appealing look.
