The Importance of Royal Bananas …!

Prince Harry is said to love bananas as much as  Meghan, so it’s no surprise that the lovebirds plan giving a banana flavoured cake star billing at their wedding reception next May.

Below I post my own favourite banana cake recipe – which also tastes great made with mango or other soft, sweet fruit.

Banana Cake

Ingredients

500g (1lb) ripe bananas, mashed

45g (1½ oz) chopped walnuts

¾ cup sunflower oil

105g (3½oz) sultanas

155g (5oz) wholeweat flour

75g (2½oz) rolled oats

2 tsp baking powder

¼ cup sugar

Method

Mix all the ingredients together in bowl. Spread into greased and paper-lined loaf tin

Bake in moderate oven for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted into centre comes out clean

Cool 10 minutes before turning onto wire rack to cool

--------------

The young royals know it’s important to have a banana.

Do YOU?

** My collection of flash stories, The Importance of Having a Banana and otherBites of Bendy Flash, makes wonderful bedtime reading and will be available as an e-book soon.
