"easy and delicious"

"Really quick and easy to make but I had problems with the cook times and tin size. The only tin I had was a 26cm loaf tin which didn't appear to suit the mixture. As I have a fan oven it appears to have cooked too quickly"

Bakingmad: "Hi, That is quite a long tin compared to the one we use to bake this recipe. We use a 900g loaf tin,(2lb) which is 19cm x 9cm x 6.5 cm. The difference in tin size will have made the difference to the baking time of your cake too. As for oven temperatures with fan ovens it is always best to reduce the oven temperature by 20 degrees. I hope you enjoy your cake and make it again soon. Baking Mad Kitchen "

"My Chocolate Banana Cake had the texture of bread pudding. Every banana cake receipe I try always seem to have that texture, I would like to make a banana cake that is successful, this is the only cake to date the has beaten me. "

Bakingmad: "Hi, With this recipe you only want to give the wet and dry ingredients a gentle fold to help retain a light airy texture to the cake. Hope you try this nex time you bake this cake. Baking Mad Kitchen"

"Easy & quick to make & ideal for using up bananas that are past their prime. It is a 2lb loaf tin that you need so ignore any measurements!"
