Banana Cake

This is my favourite recipe for the banana cake. Moist and not dry. Good to be eaten plain or with cream cheese frosting.

You need:
3/4 cup butter (6 oz)
1 cup white sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoon vanilla essence
3/4 cup of sour milk/sour cream (evaporated milk mix with juice of 1 lemon)
1 1/2 cup mashed banana
2 1/2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda (if no baking soda, use 3 teaspoon baking powder)
2 teaspoon baking powder

How to:
1. Have all ingredients at room temp. Sift flour and raising ingredients twice
2. Heat oven to 350*F (175*C)
3. Grease and line 1 30cm load pans with parchment or baking paper
4. Beat butter and sugar till light and creamy
5. Add one 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition.
6. Slowly beat in mashed bananas and vanilla. Mix till just combined
7. Fold in flour alternating with sour cream/sour milk
8. Bake for about 45 minutes. Leave in baking tin before turning into the wiring rack to cool
9. Serve plain or spread with cream cheese frosting.

Note: For cream cheese frosting, beat cream cheese with icing sugar and few drops of vanilla essence.
