A sweet way to have a lovely ending, the banana cake we had baked this morning has candlied ginger in it. It's a good way to be mysterious about it and ask your guests to guess what the secret ingredient is. This cake can be baked the night before and reheated briefly in a microwave the next morning.

Ingredient:

1) 6 sweet bananas

2) 2 ts of lemon juice

3) 1/4 cup full of cream milk

4) 1 ts vanilla paste (you can double the quantity if you are using vanilla extract)

5) 2 ts of baking powder

6) 200g of butter, softened

7) 1/2 cup of sugar

8) 3 eggs

9) 1 cup of flour

10) 1/2 cup of walnuts, coarsely chopped

11) 1/4 cup of chopped candied ginger

12) Vanilla Ice-cream

Method:

1) Preheat oven to 170 degree

2) Line a baking loaf tin with some parchment paper at the bottom (to allow easily removal of cake afterwards)

3) Mash the bananas with milk, vanilla paste and lemon juice

4) Whisk the butter with sugar until pale and creamy

5) Add the eggs into butter cream one at a time, incorporating it completelt before adding the next

6) Mix the baking powder into the flour before mixing into the butter and egg mixture

7) Fold in the banana mixture, walnuts and candied giner into the batter

8) Pour the batter into loaf tins and bake for 45 mins to an hour (use toothpick to test, it should
come out clean)

9) Allow to cool completely before overturning

10) Slice it out and serve it with ice cream (Perfect combination, TRUST ME)
