Banana Slab Cake
Ingredients
 
Cake
200g butter softened
150g caster sugar
50g brown sugar
3 eggs
200g Self raising flour sieved
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 heaped tsp baking powder sieved
3 very ripe bananas puréed (use a handheld soup blitzer)
 
Burnt butter Icing
Melted 100g butter brown
200g icing sugar sieved
1 tsp vanilla
Toasted chopped nuts optional (almonds/hazelnuts/walnuts)
 
Method
 
1.    Preheat your oven at 180C
2.    Cream the butter and sugars together
3.    Then add in the eggs and vanilla extract
4.    Add in the sieved self-raising flour and baking powder and fold in
5.    Then finally add in the pureed bananas
6.    Line a brownie tin with parchment paper and then pour in the cake batter
7.    Then bake in the middle shelf for about 25-30 min until a skewer comes out clean from the middle of the cake
8.    While take is baking make the icing – melt the butter in a saucepan, keep watching it as it will turn brown very very quickly and can burn. This takes a couple of minutes.

10.   Sprinkle with some chopped nuts of your choice if you want.
 
Top Tip - If you are short on time divide up the batter into muffin or bun cases and it will take approx. 15 min to bake.
