Where to find ingredients
You can find all these staples at any local grocery store or supermarket. Use standard white caster sugar and all-purpose flour. For the bananas, look for ones that are ripe with a few spots on the peel for the best flavour. If you have trouble finding margarine, butter is a fine substitute, though standard margarine is commonly used in this classic recipe.
Preparation method
- Combine the sugar, flour, margarine, milk, and baking powder in a mixing bowl
- Beat all the ingredients together until you have a smooth, well-incorporated batter
- Pour the batter into a greased baking tin that has been lightly dusted with flour
- Arrange the banana slices evenly over the top of the batter
- Sprinkle a generous layer of sugar and cinnamon over the banana slices
- Bake in a medium-hot oven until the cake is firm and golden brown
Observations
Perfect for a quick breakfast or a laid-back afternoon tea, this cake highlights the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with a fragrant, warming hint of cinnamon.
