Umm. Good!

Here's a recipe for the culinary-challenged.

This might be a Betty Crocker brain child originally. But as it comes from my mother, improved by "moi", I can't say for certain. As "Dr Beth", I have no problem citing my sources. So, Ms Betty, if the original be yours, I credit you.


This is my Banana NutCake Recipe.

Ingredients

Bisquick™
300 grms (or same amount self rising flour)
Walnut Oil
50ml (you can use a combination of oils if you like)
Eggs
2 or 3 depending on size (larger, only 2)
Walnuts (crushed)
50 grm
Chocolate
50 grm (Zartbitter-Bittersweet, crushed)
Vanilla
A splash, maybe 1/2 teaspn
Bananas
3 ripened
Ginger
1/4 teaspn
Cinnamon
1/4 teaspn
Nutmeg
1/4 teaspn
Maple Syrup
to taste, maybe 1 tablespn

Key issue: Liquids combined should not be more than 75ml. If the mixture looks too "wet", add a bit more flour ;-)

Baking Instructions

Combine dry ingredients. Add liquid ingredients. Stir. There might be a few lumps, but that's okay. Spray a bunt pan with non stick cooking spray. You can use a baking tin, but what a pain! (And I don't know the size). Besides, a bunt pan allows you to creatively add raspberries or strawberries in the centre if you wish.

Bake at 180°C or 350°F for about 65 minutes. But check this! Cooking time, as you know, varies with the oven and I have a convection oven. It takes about 60 minutes in mine.

After cooking, let it cool. Turn out on a lovely platter or kitchen cutting board, if your singificant other can't wait to tuck in.

Do try this. It smells divine. It tastes great with an afternoon 'cuppa'. Enjoy!
