Made Up Marrow banana cake

I had brown splodgy bananas which no one will eat and are always destined for some form of baked good.

Recently I experimented with making cake with grated marrow as one of the main ingredients.  It was very tasty as I had used lemon and marmalade to substitute for most of the sugar.

Round two I thought but this time I would use stewed apple and banana to provide the sweetness.  

All was going to plan as I mashed and grated and mixed the wet ingredients. To the cupboard for flour and baking soda...
Very little of the former and none of the latter.  After searching the pantry I managed to pull together a mix of flours and cereals. And 1 small tsp of baking powder.

It is baking now and smells fantastic but I think it will be a dense slice rather than a proper cake.  As long as tastes nice with coffee I'm happy.



1 cup stewed apple
3 small ripe bananas
1.5-2 cups grated marrow
1 tsp vanilla essence
60 gm cranberries
3 tablespoons brown sugar
70 gm flour
130 gm cornflour
3 crushed weetbix
1 cup Allbran
1 tsp baking powder

Mix the wet and dry ingredients separately, then combine them together. Bake at 160c and hope for the best.

To make the cake as I planned use 3 cups of self raising flour and mix a teaspoon of baking soda into the wet ingredients just before adding the flour.

  1. This tasted good but it completely failed as a cake - but a great desert with yoghurt or ice cream :-)
