Can you tell from the title that this is one of my leftover
spectaculars? What to make when you have loads of random baking cupboard
ingredients to use up: this apparently. I may have completely winged it, but it
actually tasted really nice and kept me going at work.
Ingredients
800g bananas (about 5)
400g plain flour
400g oats
4tsps baking powder
1 ½ tsp ground mixed spice
1tsp nutmeg
2tsps ginger
1tsp cinnamon
200g golden syrup
100g black treacle
1 egg
Demerara sugar to sprinkle
Preheat the oven to 180⁰C, and prepare a traybake tin with
baking parchment.
In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, oats and spices.
Melt the syrup and treacle in a small saucepan and leave to
the side to cool slightly.
Mash the bananas in a separate bowl or jug.
Add the egg to the mashed bananas.
Pour the banana mixture into the dry ingredients and mix.
Add the melted syrup and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon
to combine.
Scatter over the sultanas and fold them into the batter.
Pour into the prepared tin and sprinkle the top liberally
with the sugar.
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the
touch. Cool on a wire rack.
This cake freezes really well and generally lasts for ages.
