"Family sized Chocolate or Banana Cake
Ingredients 250grams melted butter 2 1/2 cups of Chelsea Caster Sugar 2 large eggs 2 tablespoons Chelsea Golden Syrup 4 cups self raising flour 3 tablespoons baking cocoa for chocolate cake -or for Banana cake, 2 very ripe, large mashed bananas 2 teaspoons baking soda 2 1/2 cups luke warm milk Method Cream butter and caster sugar. Add eggs and golden syrup - if making banana cake, add bananas and mix well. Sift together flour, baking powder - and cocoa if baking chocolate cake. Dissolve baking soda in milk. Blend dry ingredients and milk into the butter mixture together and mix until well combined and mixture is lump free. Pour into a very large cake tin (equivalent to oven roasting dish) lined with greaseproof paper. Bake 180°C for 45-50 minutes or until cake comes away from the paper. Wait 10 minutes before turning cake onto rack. When cold, ice with chocolate icing sprinkle with coconut and serve. posted by partybagsnz"

Prep time:15 mins
Cook time:1 hour (less for smaller cakes)
Makes:1 large cake, 4 small cakes or 12 muffin-sized cakes
* 250g butter, softened
* 1½ cups sugar
* 4 eggs
* 2 tsp natural vanilla essence
* 4 very ripe bananas, peeled and mashed (about 2 cups)
* 2 tsp baking soda
* ½ cup hot milk
* 3 cups flour
* 2 tsp baking powder

Lemon icing:
* 50g butter, softened
* 3 tbsp lemon juice
* 3 cups icing sugar

Preheat oven to 170°C. Line a 23cm round cake tin with baking paper or prepare 4 x 10cm tins (recycled large 425g tuna cans are perfect) or 12 muffin tins.

Beat butter and sugar until creamy. Beat in eggs and vanilla then bananas. Dissolve baking soda in hot milk and add to mixture. Sift over flour and baking powder and fold in.

Spoon mixture into prepared tin(s) and smooth top. Bake until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean and the top is springy to the touch. One large cake will take 50-60 minutes, allow 45-55 minutes for 4 medium cakes and about 20 minutes for muffin-sized cakes. Cool in tin and ice when cool. Store in a sealed container in a cool place for 2-3 days or wrap un-iced cake and freeze.

Lemon icing:
Beat together butter, lemon juice, icing sugar and ½ tbsp hot water until creamy.

Thanks very much for the Recipes, I have copied and pasted them to word so that I can print them off.
