Banana Cake with Cashews Recipe

Ingredients : Cooking time : 1 hour, Oven temperature : Moderate (170-190oC)

3 Eggs 1 cup Sugar 3/4 cup Cream 1 1/2 cups Flour 2 kg Very ripe bananas 1 cup Coarsely chopped fresh cashews 1 cup Grated fresh coconut

Method : Beat eggs and sugar together in electric mixer until mixture is thick and pale. Use a fairly low speed. Pour cream into bowl and beat for a few seconds longer, just to mix. Sift flour, add to bowl and stir with a wooden spoon. Peel bananas and smash with the flat side of a chopper, but do not mash. Add to batter with nuts and coconut. Stir only until all ingredients are combined. Grease two 20 cm pans and dust with flour, shaking out any excess. Bake in a preheated moderate oven for 1 hour or until top is golden brown. Serve warm or cold. This is a very solid pudding-like but flavorsome cake.
