School Baking

Sometimes you need a really great recipe that is both versatile and reliable.  My class were selling cupcakes at their learning celebration to raise money for WSPA - Go Bananas for Orangutans.

This recipe is a light banana cake and tastes really nice with royal icing and butter cream frostings.  In the past I've also made this recipe into a giant banana cake. Try out my recipe...it's very tasty!

250g butter
1 1/2 cups of sugar
