THE IDEAL RECIPE FOR BANANA FUDGE CAKE BY FLORA CUISINE

Serves 8 people

Prep 10-12 minutes (+ 5 mins for decoration)

Cook for 45-50 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 large ripe banana
• 1 ½ tbsp skimmed milk
• 70ml Flora Cuisine
• 90g self-raising flour
• 90g soft brown sugar
• Pinch of salt
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 3 chocolate fudge bars diced into small pieces
• 50g dried banana chips, broken in half (reserve a few whole ones for decoration)
• 50g dark chocolate, broken into pieces for decoration

 Method

1. Preheat the oven to gas mark 3/170^oC/150^oC fan/325^oF.
2. In a bowl, mash the banana and milk together. Add Flora Cuisine, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and egg and whisk well together. Fold in the broken banana chips and diced fudge (keeping a little fudge back for decoration).
3. Transfer to a greased, lined 450g/1lb loaf tin or 20cm (8 inch) cake tin and level the top using the back of a damp spoon.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes until the cake is golden-brown, well risen and spongy to the touch.
5. Allow the cake to cool for around 10 minutes before removing from the tin and leaving it to cool on a wine rack.
6. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of hot water. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled cake and top with banana and fudge pieces.
