3 Large Bananas

¾ cup mixture of margarine and shortening

¾ cup brown sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp ground allspice

2 cups malted brown flour

1 large egg

1 tbsp chopped pecan nuts

2/3 cup chopped dates

Few Drops of Pineapple Juice

1. Closely line the base and side of a 20cm/8in diameter soufflé dish with plastic wrap, allowing it to hang very slightly over the edge. Peel the bananas and thoroughly mash in a bowl. Beat in both fat. Mix in the sugar. Toss the baking powder allspice with the flour. Stir into the banana mixture with the egg, nuts and dates using a fork.

2. Spread smoothly the prepared dish. Cover loosely with kitchen paper and cook on full for 11 minutes, turning the dish three times. Allow to stand for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack by holding the plastic wrap.

3. Cool completely, then peel away the plastic wrap and store the cake in an airtight container.

4. About two hours before serving, cover the cake with a thick glace icing made by sifting 1 cup icing sugar into a bowl and mixing to paste-like icing with a few drops of pineapple juice. When set, decorate with dried banana chips.

5. Enjoy!
