Izzie has her bff birthday party tomorrow. Miss Olivia Wheeler will be 2! She is having a Pepper Pig cake so I am going to try this Doves Farm Sponge Cake recipe so Izzie doesn't feel left out.
- 125g Sugar
- 6 Tbsp Sunflower Oil
- 1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 Small Ripe Banana
- 150g Gluten Free Self Raising Flour
- 4 Tbsp Cold Water
- 1 tsp Oil
- 2 Tbsp Jam
- 1 tsp Icing Sugar
- Preheat oven to 190oC or 170oC Fanbake
- Lightly oil a 18cm round cake tin
- In a bowl beat together the sugar, oil & vanilla
- Peel & mash half the banana then beat into the sugar mixture
- Add the flour & water & mix well
- Pour the batter into the prepared tin & smooth top
- Bake in oven for 30-35 minutes
- Cool the sponge on a wire rack
- Cut the sponge in half with a bread knife and spread with jam put top back on and dust with icing sugar
Even tho Izzie is allergic to banana she seemed to be ok with this small amount of highly cooked banana. Banana is used in a lot of recipes instead of egg as a good binding agent.
Izzie adored the cake but next time I would make two sponges and jam them together as it didn't rise as much as expected.
