Banana Cake

This is another recepi from kuali.com that I love so much! The cake turned up so well. Beautiful texture, spongy and the aroma.... Hmmm yummy...

Since I don't have lemon with me at the time, I used lime juice instead

Ingredients
175g butter
175g castor sugar (I reduced it to 150g)
4 egg yolks (I used large eggs)
1 cup well-mashed ripe bananas (add 1 tsp lemon juice when mashing)
235g self-raising flour, sifted
3/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda, sifted
4 egg whites
1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp grated lemon rind (I omitted this)

Note: I would probably try adding extra egg yolk or reduce the flour so that the cake would be less crumbly.


Method
Grease and flour a 21cm cake tin. Preheat oven at 170ÂșC. Beat butter and sugar till light and fluffy. Add egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Add mashed bananas and beat well. Fold in sifted flour gradually. Beat egg white until stiff and stir into banana mixture. Add lemon juice and rind.

Pour batter into prepared tin and bake for 45-55 minutes or until cake is cooked. Cool cake in the tin for 15 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
