I do this one - so easy
Melt 150g butter (use a large saucepan, everything else goes in - only one pan for washing up)
Add ¾ c sugar, 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla essence. Mix well.
Sift 2 c flour, 2 tsp baking powder and ½ tsp baking soda on top of melted ingredients in the pot. Mix carefully then slowly add ½ c milk and 1c (about 2) mashed bananas.
Pour into well greased and lined 20 cm ring tin and bake at 180°C for 30 - 40 minutes.
Ice with chocolate icing once cold.

You beauty! That sounds great!
Do you have a recipe for the chocolate icing? I imagine coco powder, icing sugar and all the rest?

I just melt a little butter in boiling water, add cocoa and icing sugar until I get the thickness/taste I like. Sometimes I have to add in more boiling water.

"Best banana cake recipe ever Beat 3 eggs, 1.5 cups sugar, then add 1/2 cup cheap oil and 3/4 cup sour cream & 3 ripe bananas beat all, then add 2 cups white flour 1.5 tsp of both baking powder and baking soda Beat till nice and smooth bake 170 degrees for 1 hr I ice with white and dark choc I make this at work and it is the most requested of all, keeps really well I double and put one in the freezer. Enjoy. Sorry left out some info. I bake mine in either a high sided 22inch tin or if I want to strech the servings in a larger square, I have never mixed in a food proccessor only because it is quiet small. Now the icing I have been using Bakels chocolate truffle which you heat in the microwave for 90 secs and use it is just wonderful I don't know if you can buy yet in shops but check with your local Crean or Foodstuffs store and just ask to buy under a cash sale agreement (Usually a/c only) this stuff is just wonderful you can reheat 100's of times available in white and dark choc and I just drizzle both on top, looks amazing. posted by mackenzie2

The following recipe is for a loaf but is so cake-like that it could be iced & served as a cake – it’s also good if cut into serving-sized portions, placed in dessert bowls, topped with either vanilla or chocolate custard & then warmed through in the microwave & served as a dessert. It freezes really well too. BANANA LOAF. 115g butter, 1 cup sugar, 1-2 beaten eggs (I always use 2), 1&1/2 cups flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 4 tbsp (1/4 cup) milk, 1 tsp baking soda, 2 mashed bananas. Cream the butter & sugar, add the eggs & mix well. Add the flour & baking powder, & mix very briefly. Bring the milk just to the boil (easiest done in a coffee mug in the microwave), then add in & stir the baking soda to dissolve it. Add the frothy mixture to the loaf mixture & stir it in. Lastly stir in the bananas. Put the mixture into a greased and base baking-paper lined loaf tin. Bake at 180°C for about 1 hour. posted by 245sam" :-))

An elderly neighbour of mine was the best baker alive. She told me that when i had creamed the butter and sugar , do it for another 5 minutes! I have always done this and my cakes are as light as air.

I think that the cooking time is important too. Check with a bamboo skewer 5 mins before the earliest time when baking a new recipe , using silicon bakeware or when using a new oven as they may differ. Just cooked is so much nicer than well done and dry! Sorry if I am stating the obvious .

Here is a recipe l got off here and it makes a big roasting dish size cake and l throw as many bananas as l have lying around and it is a great recipe l gave this recipe to a friend who works in a rest home and they love it
Banana Chocolate Yogurt Cake 2 cups sugar, 200g butter, 3 cups self raising flour, 2 eggs, 2 tsp baking soda, 1 cup boiling water, 1 cup plain yogurt, 1 ½ tsp vanilla essence, 2 mashed bananas, ½ cup cocoa, ¼ tsp salt. Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Turn mixture in to medium roasting dish and bake at 180C for an hour. That’s it. Note, I pour the boiling water over the butter to melt it. You don’t have to use plain yogurt. I have used fruit flavoured and it is lovely. I have also left out the cocoa altogether and not replaced it with anything. Bananas can be replaced with other soft fruit. So there you go. It will work fine in two smaller cake tins or even as muffins. In my oven it took an hour and 10 minutes.
I made this today, got a good size 8 inch cake, plus a loaf tin cake, from the recipe, it's tastes really good too. I am freezing the large one iced, once frozen I will wrap it in glad warp and then tin foil to seal

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe
This peanut butter chocolate chip bread is always a favourite, either for a special breakfast on Easter morning or a side dish brought to a fancy brunch. It is a very flexible recipe.
Ingredients
cooking spray 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 ripe bananas, mashed 1/3 cup unsweetened crunchy peanut butter 3/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt 1 large egg 1 tablespoon canola oil
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
Whisk whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
Stir mashed bananas, peanut butter, brown sugar, yogurt, egg, and canola oil thoroughly in a separate bowl.
Stir the banana mixture into the dry ingredients until thoroughly combined; stir in chocolate chips.
Spoon batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until the loaf is lightly browned at the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes.
Cool the bread in the pan on a rack for 15 minutes before removing bread to finish cooling on rack. Slice when cool.

Quote deansstand (4 4 positive feedback) 7:56 pm, Mon 27 May #12 This cake is easy and tastes fab with a maple syrup icing. 2.5 C SR flour, 1 t baking soda, 3/4 C castor sugar,4 eggs,2.5 C mashed banana, 1 C oil
Sift flour and soda, stir in sugar, eggs, banana and oil. Mix into batter (gently). Bake 160C (20cm tin) for 1.5 hours. Simple. yummy. I bake mine in a larger tin and it takes less time to cook.
