Carrot & Banana Cake

"This is a beautiful light flavoursome cake, originally from the Australian Women's Weekly "More Cake and Slices" cookbook. I use a mixture of walnuts and hazlenuts, and use grapeseed oil as the vegetable oil. Keeps well and is great in lunchboxes."

  1. This was very easy to make and in the oven in no time at all. I made mine in my large loaf pan and cooked for 60mins. Very nice with a hot cuppa on a wet cold Sunday afternoon. No icing is a bonus....I can tell myself I am eating a healthy treat. Into my keeper file for sure :)

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Here in Australia, we are blessed with an abundance of beautiful fresh produce, and our multi-cultural background has given us lots of wonderful tastes and styles. I've loved food almost all my life (except for a bumpy early start...ate nothing but a slice of apple and a slice of cheese a day for my first two years!). For me, cookbooks are a springboard - I have a taste "on my tongue", I search for appropriate inspiration and voila! something that owes a little to the book, my creativity, and whatever is in my kitchen! That said, I adore Vikki Leng's "A Vegetarian Kitchen" and travel happily through Sheila Lukin's "All Around The World Cookbook". Jamie Oliver is also a favourite, and I've just discovered the Williams-Sonoma baking books!
