Banana Cake with cream cheese frosting – with photo

[Very Happy Jan]

Well said CP63. we just have to be aware of what suits our children. Our very clever DS1 was failing yr 11 and destined to not get an ATAR score high enough to go to Uni. The failing was his own doing and certainly not the teachers or school. Instead of yr 12(at his request) we have switched him to an Institute of Technology to do a University Preparatory course which he is breezing through. He will get an automatic placement in the degree of his choice next year. My point is that there are many options available and we just have to find the right one.

Well said everyone as we have also travelled that path also and just like making a cake you have to find the recipe that fits your child and your family - banana cake just happens to be a favourite of ours

Thank you lovelies for all support and comments - after my comments above you would find it hard to believe that I enjoy what I do in the classroom, especially the dynamics which exist in the particular group that did so miserably on formal testing.  I believe that parenting is a far more emotionally taxing role than teaching!  Thanks for your ears - so pleased the banana cake continues to be enjoyed (bananas in Qld cost an arm and a leg at present!). Cheers

I know what you mean about the cost of bananas!  I have a couple in the freezer that I am saving to make this cake down the track.  Bananas have hit $13kg here in Tassie and I just can't afford them.

mmm this is in the oven again, second time THIS week!! haha its a huge hit here with all who try it!!
I bought 6.5kg of bananas from coles for $8, 38 huge bananas, they are all sitting in my freezer waiting for banana cake!! haha was such a bargain i couldnt not buy them!
they were perfect to, maybe a couple of small blemishes on the outside, but perfect inside, yum!!

wow that was lucky lucky  i saw them at C***s supermarket today (I have to stop advertising their name) and they were $12.60/kg  (fortunately I squirrelled a couple of kgs away when they were cheap -- but I must use them)

Yet another fabulous pic Maddy - I have often made this recipe into small cakes pre-thermie conversion when our girls were small. Will do so again after your reminder about the suitability of the mix and also when bananas again become affordable. Cheers
