Prep Time Cook Time Serves
30 mins 1 hr one round cake
Ingredients
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup drained crushed pineapple
  • 1 1/4 cups caster sugar
  • 1 2/3 cups self-raising flour
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup oil
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 2 eggs

Here's how
1. Preheat the oven to moderate (180C). Brush a deep, 23cm round cake tin with melted butter or oil. Line the base and side with baking paper. Place the bananas, crushed pineapple and caster sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add the sifted flour and cinnamon; stir to combine using a wooden spoon.
2. Whisk the oil, pineapple juice and eggs together and add to the banana mixture. Stir until combined and smooth. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake for 1 hour, or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted in the centre of the cake. Set aside for 10 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool.
3. When cool, spread with honey cream cheese icing (recipe follows) and decorate with dried mango slices, if desired.

Tip: This cake keeps for up to 4 days in an airtight container. Refrigerate in hot weather.

I made this cake for my daughter's Christening and it turned out beautifully. The cake was moist and the Honey cream cheese icing was the perfect topping. Everyone raved about how yummy it was. Thank you!
