Ingredients

  • 120ml sunflower oil, plus extra for greasing
  • 225g light muscovado sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 225g self-raising flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 150ml low-fat natural yogurt

Method: How to make banana yogurt cake

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. Grease a 900g loaf tin with a little oil. Put the tin on a piece of baking paper slightly larger than the tin. With a pencil, draw a line from each corner of the tin to the nearest corner of the baking paper, then cut along each line with scissors. Press the paper into the tin to line it.

2. Pour the oil into a large bowl. Add the sugar and mix with a large balloon whisk for a few minutes. Crack 1 egg into a small bowl, check there's no shell in it, then add to the sugar and oil. Whisk until the egg disappears. Repeat with the remaining 2 eggs.

3. Stir in the flour and cinnamon. Take a large metal spoon and gently fold the flour into the mixture.

4. Peel and slice the bananas into another bowl, then mash with a fork. Fold into the cake mixture along with the yogurt, then pour it into the lined tin.

5. Bake for 1 hour, or until the cake is well risen and golden. Ask an adult to take it out of the oven for you. Push a cocktail stick into the centre – the cake is ready if the cocktail stick comes out clean. If the cake isn't quite ready yet, ask an adult to put it back into the oven for a little longer – about 10-15 minutes. Leave the cake in the tin to cool, then turn out and cut into slices.

  1. Great easy recipe! I freeze bananas when they become over ripe so this recipe is great for that. Didnt find the cake needed to be in longer then the recommend 1hour like some of the other comments on here. :)

  2. I thought this recipe was pretty good but I did tweak it slightly. Using 1 egg instead of 3 stopped the mixture from being too liquid (complete fluke as I only did this because I had no more eggs)and using much more cinnamon as well as some nutmeg made it a bit tastier.

  6. The cake is very dense, overly sweet and took much longer than 1 hour to cook. Perhaps there is too much liquid given in the recipe?
