Banana Cake (Jamaican) Recipe
- cake
- 1/2 c. butter 1 stick
- 1 c. sugar
- 2 x Large eggs
- 3 x ripe bananas pureed
- 2 c. flour
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda baking soda
- 1/2 c. cashew nuts minced Merringue
- 4 x egg whites
- 1 c. sugar
- 2 Tbsp. light rum
- Cream butter & sugar; beat in Large eggs one at a time.
- Mix in mashed bananas & flour sifted with soda & nutmeg.
- Add in cashew nuts.
- Bake about 50 min in lined, greased cake tin.
- zosha's notes: skip the "lining", just butter & flour.
- Generally a cake tin would mean an 8" round cake pan.
- You could make it in a loaf pan as well.
- The meringue is obviously part of the cake, but it doesn't say what you are supposed to do with it.
- I suspect which it is one of those things you are supposed to know.
- So here is my guess ... spread the meringue after the cake has cooked & cooled and bake a little while longer.
- Meringue: beat egg whites, add in sugar & rum gradually and continue beating till mix holds a peak.
