Especially if it's Banana flavoured as my mum used to make Banana and Walnut loaf quite a lot. Also..you do almost feel a little bit healthy as the cake has fruit in!
As you might have seen Holly (recipes from a normal mum) posted a tip today about freezing those bananas that are past it so that you can make banana cake/loaf when it suits you and not just when you have an abundance of shrivelled black bananas.
Well that is exactly what I did just before christmas, there were way too many other things to eat in our house to even think about making a Banana cake so I peeled, mashed and froze them until this morning. They take very little time to defrost too which is great!
This cake came out so moist and delicious, it's not overpowering and is light almost like a sponge cake. The almonds on the top and bottom give it a really nice crunch. Perfect when it is still slightly warm out the oven. It also makes quite a lot, about 20 squares so great for making ahead of the weekend!
In future I would quite like to try a few variations, maybe with chocolate chips or with flaked almonds in the cake mixture too rather than only sprinkled into the tin before the mixture is added and sprinkled on top, maybe even a little Honey would be nice in it! all in all a very versatile cake!
