Serves: 6-8 servings
 
Ingredients
  • ¾ cup butter, softened
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup corn flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch each salt, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg
  • 5 regular-size banana
  • Juice and grated rind of 1 lemon
  • Icing sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the rind and eggs. Sieve 1 cup of the flour, corn flour, baking powder, salt and spices into the creamed mixture and fold in. Use half of the mixture to line the base of the baking pan. Bake for 25 minutes. Let it cool.
  3. Peel the bananas and dice them. Sprinkle with the lemon juice, then spread over the top of the cooled base.
  4. Mix the remaining cake mixture with the remaining flour to form dough, adding more flour as needed. Roll out the dough to form a circle and then gently lay it over the banana filling and press to seal the edges.
  5. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until top is golden brown. Baking time may vary, depending on the oven, so take a peek at 50 minutes and see how the cake looks. Sprinkle with icing sugar and leave to cool in the pan.
  6. Enjoy!
