Steps:

• Cream sugar and margarine then beat in eggs one at a time beating well.
• Beat in banana.
• Sift in flour and salt.
• Dissolve carb soda in milk and add into bowl and mix until all is combined.
• Pour into a well greased tin and bake in the oven at 180 degrees for about 25-30 minutes or until cooked through.
• TIP: If you like your cake extra moist like I do add a little bit more milk to the batter before pouring into the tin.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
• Bake in an 8x8-inch glass baking dish.
• Bake in preheated 350F oven for 45 to 60 minutes.
• Top/ice with Cream cheese& icing (powdered) sugar mixture.

Steps:

• For the dark chocolate truffle: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-inch cake pan with foil.
• Grind the chocolate in a food processor. Place the ground chocolate and the sugar in a large mixing bowl. Slowly add the boiling water and stir until all the chocolate is melted. Using a whisk, incorporate the butter into the chocolate mixture well blended. Whisk in the eggs, then strain through sieve.
• Pour the truffle mixture into the prepared pan. Bake until just set, 20 minutes. Chill for 4 hours.
• For the chocolate mousse: Melt the chocolate and cool slightly. Whip the cream.
• Put whole eggs and the egg yolks into a large bowl; whisk with an electric mixer to break up the yolks.
• When the chocolate has cooled, add the whisked eggs and blend with hand mixer.
• In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites.
• Add one-quarter of the whipped cream to the chocolate mixture and mix with spatula, scraping the bowl until just incorporated. Add the remaining whipped cream and begin folding it in, scraping the bowl often. Halfway through, add the whipped egg whites. Fold everything together until well incorporated. Chill for 4 hours. (Makes filling for three 9-in cakes.)
• For the banana cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cream the butter, margarine and sugar with an electric mixer until very light and fluffy. Mix in the bananas. Slowly add the eggs, mixing until incorporated. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Add the vanilla.
• Fill two 9-inch cake pans halfway up with batter. Bake until the cake is set but still shiny on top, 20 minutes. Let cool.
• To assemble the cake: Place the first layer of banana cake, top-side up, on a cake board. Add 2 large scoops (about 2 cups) of mousse and spread with a spatula. Take the truffle out of the pan, keeping the foil still on, and invert onto the mousse; remove the foil. Place 2 more large scoops of mousse onto the truffle and spread with a spatula. Invert the second banana cake onto the mousse.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan (see Cook's Note) with aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two longer sides. Lightly spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
• For the cake, mash the bananas in a large bowl with a fork or potato masher until very smooth. Whisk in the dark brown sugar, melted butter, sour cream, eggs and vanilla until smooth and combined. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
• Fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture in thirds until just combined. Pour into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Leave the cake in the pan to cool slightly, about 30 minutes. Use the foil overhang to remove the cake from the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, beat the butter, cream cheese and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Reduce to low speed, then add the powdered sugar a cup at a time until smooth. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla extract.
• Transfer 1/2 cup of the frosting to a small bowl and stir in the dulce de leche until smooth. Cover both frostings with plastic wrap and keep at room temperature until ready to assemble the cake.
• For the candied banana chips, warm the maple syrup in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until it just starts bubbling. Add the banana chips and cook, tossing and stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, until the chips have absorbed almost all the maple syrup and are browned in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Immediately transfer the banana chips to a baking sheet, spread in an even layer and cool completely. Once cool, roughly chop.
• Transfer the cake to a serving platter. Spread about 3/4 cup plain cream cheese frosting all over the top of the cake.
• Dollop the dulce de leche frosting and remaining plain frosting on top, then use a small offset spatula to swirl both frostings together in a swooping design, making sure the frosting goes all the way to the edges of the cake. Top with the chopped candied banana chips.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 by 2-inch round cake pan.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the bananas, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on low speed until combined. With the mixer still on low, add the oil, eggs, sour cream, vanilla, and orange zest. Mix until smooth.
• In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Stir in the chopped walnuts, if using. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, turn out onto a cooling rack, and cool completely.
• Spread the frosting thickly on the top of the cake and decorate with walnut halves, if using.
• Mix the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on low speed until just combined. Don't whip! Add the sugar and mix until smooth.

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9-inch cake pans with baking spray.
• Mix together the cake mix, flour, sugar, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
• In a mixer with the whisk attachment, mix together the egg whites, vegetable oil, sour cream, vanilla, bananas and instant pudding until well mixed. Add the dry ingredients and then then slowly pour in 1 1/3 cups water.
• Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool on a rack.
• For the praline: In a medium saucepan, bring the sugar and 1/2 cup water to a boil without stirring; occasionally swirl the pan gently to blend the sugar. Once the mixture has turned a light caramel color, remove the pan from the heat and add the vanilla and the candied pecans. Stir with a spatula and immediately pour out onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Allow to dry until brittle. Break into pieces.
• For the buttercream: Put the sugar and egg whites in a large heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Whisk constantly until hot to the touch; the sugar should be dissolved and look like marshmallow cream.
• Pour the mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium speed until the egg whites cool and form a thick, shiny meringue, about 5 minutes. Switch to the paddle attachment and add the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until smooth. Once all the butter is in, add the vanilla and beat on medium-high speed until thick and very smooth, 6 to 10 minutes. Refrigerate.
• To assemble the cake: Mix 1 cup of the crushed praline into 2 cups of the buttercream. Spread the top of one of the cake layers with the praline filling, then stack the second cake layer on top. Ice the entire cake with the remaining buttercream.

Steps:

• Grown ups: Preheat the oven to 180C/ 160C fan/ gas mark 4. Grease and line a 450g loaf/1lb tin with baking parchment.
• Children: Weigh the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and sultanas into a bowl and mix with a wooden spoon. Then weigh the butter, vanilla essence, egg, milk and mashed bananas and put into another bowl or jug and mix with a small balloon whisk or fork. Pour the 'wet' banana mixture into the 'dry' flour mixture and combine thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Weighing needs to be very accurate when baking so help older children to measure carefully. Younger children can also get involved by spooning or pouring into the scales with adult supervision. Younger children can also beat the egg with a fork and mash the banana with a potato masher.
• Grown ups: Pour the cake mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 30 - 40 mins or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven, allow to cool in the tin for 10 mins then turn out.
