another banana cake this time with rum and sultanas. it seems that bananas are always going crazy in the fridge in this house so i have to use them. and seeing a rum fruit cake being made on TV made me do it.
125g butter
125g self rasing flour
125g brown and white sugar (more brown makes it caramelize on the out side)
2 eggs
2 dead bananas
hand full of sultanas (if you're not in a hurry soak them in some rum. i was too lazy)
dash vanilla essence
30-50mls dark rum (nothing like using the good stuff for cooking)
first things first. turn the oven on to hot.
cream the butter and sugars. once they're combined add the eggs and flour.
add in the rum, vanilla essence, sultanas and banana. get it going.
get the baking tray done with flour and butter and pour the mixture in.
throw into the already hot oven and cook it for anywhere between 25mins to 45mins depending on how good your oven is.
when you stick that stick thing in and nothing comes out with it it's ready
the cake should have a fairly moist pudding like texture. well, it did when i ate it while it was still hot. it might change as it gets cooler.
you can add other dried fruits as well for more richer flavors.
