Banana Walnut Cake



This bank holiday weekend I've been making lots of cakes as I have been seeing family and wanted to take pudding. This has to be one of the easiest cakes I've ever made and it tastes so good.

125g Butter
1 cup castor sugar
2 eggs
1 cup mashed banana
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 quarter cups self-raising flour
1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/2 cup water
Topping:
50g softened butter
2 tablespoons self-raising flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts

1. Preheat the oven to 180c. Lightly grease a 23-cm square tin and line the base with non-stick baking paper.
2. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  
3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. 
4. Add banana and vanialla extract and beat well.  
5. Sift flour and bicarbonate of soda and add to creamed mixture with water.
6. Pour into prepared tin.
7. To make topping, rub butter into flour, add remaining ingredients and mix well. 
8. Place topping over cake mixture and bake 40-45 minutes.

For more toppings you can add pecan nuts instead of walnuts or add nuts in the banana so its combined into the cake as well as on top. 

Enjoy
