Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter 1 stick
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 x eggs
  • 3 x ripe bananas pureed
  • 2 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda Baking Soda
  • 1/2 cup Cashew Nuts chopped
  • Merringue
  • 4 x Egg Whites
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tbl light rum

Directions

1

Cream butter & sugar; beat in eggs one at a time.

2

Fold in mashed bananas & flour sifted with soda & nutmeg.

3

Add cashew nuts. Bake about 50 minutes in lined, greased cake tin.

4

zosha's notes: skip the "lining", just butter & flour.

5

Generally a cake tin would mean an 8" round cake pan.

6

You could make it in a loaf pan as well.

7

The meringue is obviously part of the cake, but it doesn't say what you are supposed to do with it.

8

I suspect that it is one of those things you are supposed to know.

9

So here is my guess ... spread the meringue after the cake has cooked & cooled and bake a little while longer.

10

Meringue: beat egg whites, add sugar & rum gradually and continue beating until mixture holds a peak
