Recipe's preparation

    2. 2. Place bananas, dates and vanilla essence in the bowl and mix for 5 seconds on speed 4. Set aside.
    3. 3. No need to rinse out bowl. Add butter and caster sugar and mix for 20 seconds on speed 5.

Tip

  1. * If cake still looks wet after this time reduce the temperature to 140 C and cook for a further 10 to 20 minutes. 
  2. * If cake is over browning but still wet, place a sheet of aluminium foil on top to slow down the browning process.
  3. * Wait 10 minutes before turning out of the cake tin.
  4. * The amount of cinnamon powder can be increased or decreased according to personal taste.
  5. * I decrease the amount of caster sugar I use the more dates I add.
  6. * Icing sugar is optional for sprinkling on the cake once cooled!

    Made this yesterday, was a little disappointed as we found it very dry and not real flavoursom.
    Had to warm it up to get some moisture back into it.was a little disappointed.
    Verdict was not to give a second go.

    This is soooo delicious. I think you could easily cut the amount of sugar down. I made into mini muffins and cooked for 20mins

    Delicious and with a great texture! I didn't bother setting aside after step 1 and it still turned out fine. I used less sugar and only had two bananas. Awesome recipe with a bit of room for swapping and changing without causing it to fail. It's in my collection for sure  tmrc_emoticons.)

    Very nice recipe but the method was a bit convoluted.  Perhaps, after chopping the dates on speed 7 for 5 seconds, just add all the ingredients and mix with the backwards blade on speed 6 for ten seconds or so.  Make sure the sides are scraped down and mixed in.  It's much easier to do it this way.  tmrc_emoticons.-)

    Great super easy recipe. Can't go wrong! I love that the dates add most of the sweetness with much less refined sugar than most cake recipes. I made it for sausage sizzle at school and all the kids loved it - even the ones who aren't gluten-free. Will definetely add to my collection. Thanks   tmrc_emoticons.)

    These were great. I made them into muffins and mini muffins for my 10mth old and school lunches. Hopeing they freeze well!

    An easy and forgiving recipe.  I used panella and pulverised it at the beginning and so the sequence of my steps was out because I didn't feel like putting it aside tmrc_emoticons.;) It turned out beautifully.  I could imagine putting it into ramekins and cooking it bain marie and serving with custard when warm. 

    Definitely a recipe that is good on its own but customisable for preferences. I'll be making this one again!

    I accidently forgot to add the milk, but it so turned it beautiful and fluffy. Phew! I added walnuts to the top, and swapped caster sugar for coconut sugar. Yum!
