Method

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F

  • 2. Lightly grease a round cake pan, lining the base with baking paper

  • 3. Beat the margarine, sugar and bananas until the mixture is combined and banana is almost smooth

  • 4. Then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to stir them in. Then beat in the vanilla in a similar fashion

  • 5. Mix the two cups of flour in the bowl, making sure they mix evenly. Pour in the milk

  • 6. Stir the mixture well but if it is over beaten, the cake will be tough

  • 7. Pour the cake bater into the pan and bake the cake for 70 minutes. Check the cake's cooking progress by inserting a skewer into the centre of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is cooked

  • 8. Allow 5 minutes cooling time in the pan before taking the cake out of the cooking pan and allowing it to cool fully on a wire rack

  • Icing:
  • Wait until the cake is fully cooled before icing the cake.
  • Sift the iing sugar into a bowl before adding the water and lemon juice. Only add enough water to make a thin icing: leave it to set after spreading the iing before serving.
