One-bowl spiced banana Bundt cake
Serves 6-8
Ingredients
5 (about 450g) ripe or overripe bananas
4 large eggs
1 can (385g) condensed milk
½ cup (125ml) melted butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 ½ cups (350g) self-raising flour, sifted
½ tsp (3ml) each mixed spice and ground ginger
1 tsp (5ml) cinnamon
Melted chocolate or caramel treat, for serving
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Spray a 23cm Bundt tin with non-stick spray. Then dust with a little flour (this will help with unmoulding).
- Mash bananas well and mix in eggs.
- Add condensed milk and melted butter and mix thoroughly.
- Combine flour and spices in a separate bowl.
- Stir wet ingredients into the dry ingredients to form a batter.
- Pour into prepared Bundt tin and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
- Serve drizzled with melted chocolate or caramel.
Cook’s note:
Whip together 1 tub mascarpone, ¼ cup icing sugar and a dash of vanilla essence and serve with the Bundt cake for added flair.
