This a really good recipe to bake especially with the family. It takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Step 1: Bring the ingredients together
First take 250g of unsalted butter and cut in into small tiny cubes with a knife and throw it into your kitchen mixer. If you don't have one then you could do it by hand. After that you take 335g of caster sugar and mix it. You then pour 1 drop if vanilla or could take some vanilla from a sticky vanilla bean. After that you mix the mixture. After mixing it, the mixture should be thick and creamy. Use the eggs to make the cake nice and easy. After putting the eggs in the bowl, you need to mix it to make it more tasty. You may need to scrape the mixture from the sides after mixing. You now have a nice cake battering for your banana cake. Pour the 200g of sour cream into the mixture. The sour cream gives a nice kick to this recipe and makes it more yummy. The sour also gives a balance to this banana cake so it's sweet and yummy at the same time. After this, you mix the mixture. Use about 3 or 4 bananas for the cake. Peel the bananas. After this, Cut the bananas and put into blender. The blender helps us smash the bananas and turns it Details about into a mixture. Add golden syrup or normal sugar to make the bananas sweeter. Pour the banana mixture into our cake battering mixture. Take 300g of self raising flour and sieve into the mixture. Then give the mixture a good mix.

Step 2: Line and Fill tin
Cut some baking paper with a sharp knife and make sure that the baking paper fills the whole inside of the baking tin. Make sure it fits. Gently pour the cake mixture you made earlier into the the baking tin. Give the tin a little tap to make sure the mixture gets in and to make sure it gets on to level.

Step 3: Bake
Put the mixture of the cake which is now in a baking tin in the oven. Now it's ready to go in the oven on 170 degrees for about an hour and fifteen minutes. Take the banana cake out of the oven when ready. After 20 mins or less, the cake should be cool enough to eat!

Indian prawn curry with bite sized orange skins!

This is one of my favourite easiest home Indian curry which you can make less than 20 minutes because it’s so simple and fresh. The flavours are so mouth-watering and you’ll have friends & family coming in for more, creating that illusion you have slaved over the cooker for hours. You can get the ingredients from a big Sainsbury’s store or any local Indian shop.
