Where to find ingredients
All ingredients are staples found in the baking aisle at Coles, Woolworths, or ALDI. For the best result, opt for bananas that have a few brown spots on the skin as they provide more sweetness for baking. Use Australian-grown flour and local dairy for a better finish.
Preparation method
- Whisk the sugar, flour, margarine, milk, and baking powder together in a large mixing bowl
- Stir the mixture thoroughly until you have a smooth, consistent cake batter
- Pour the batter into a cake tin that has been well-greased and lightly dusted with flour
- Arrange the banana slices evenly across the top of the batter
- Sprinkle a generous layer of sugar and cinnamon over the banana slices
- Bake in a preheated moderate oven until the cake is risen, firm to the touch, and golden brown
