Tips
This makes a great large cake too - just double for 2 X 18-20cm sandwich tins (or 3 X 15-16cm) or triple for a large 23-25cm cake tin. Leave plain, dust with icing sugar or decorate with buttercream or cheese icing of your choice. Vanilla, chocolate, orange and lemon all work well.

- 60 g Unsalted butter
- 55g Caster sugar (normal or golden)
- 55 g Light brown sugar (normal or muscovado)
- 1 Egg
- 1 large or 2 small Banana(s)
- 2 tbsp Natural yogurt
- 100 g Self-raising flour
- ½ tsp Baking powder
- ½ tsp Bicarbonate of soda
- Pinch Cinnamon
- Few drops or ½ tsp Vanilla extract or vanilla paste
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a muffin tin with 8 - 10 paper cases.
- In a mixer, or with an electric hand-whisk, beat the butter and both sugars together until pale and creamy, then beat in the egg and vanilla, if using.
- Peel the banana(s) and mash with the yogurt (you can do this by hand with a fork, or use a stick-blender to puree), then add to the bowl and beat well.
- Sift in half the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and ground cinnamon, beat to combine, then sift in the rest and beat again until smooth.
- Spoon the cake mixture into the paper cases and bake for 15 - 20 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean when inserted in the centre.
- Leave to cool in the tins for a couple of minutes, then remove from the tins and leave to cool completely on a wire rack (or sneak one while it is still warm! - particularly good with a dusting of icing sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup!). Because these are really moist little cakes, they will keep really well in a tin for up to 4 days and you can make them the day before icing, if you want to.
