Polly's Passion Cake

Used to make this all the time in college. The recipe is from a friend of mine who lived on this, beansprouts and lentils, with some custard and baked potatoes thrown in. It's hard being a vegetarian when you don't like vegetables. Anyway, 'passion cake' is AKA banana and carrot cake. Easy and fail-safe. 


Dry ingredients:

  • 280g plain flour 
  • 1 tsp bicarb
  • 2tsp baking powder 
  • 170g brown sugar 
  • 1 tsp salt 
  • chopped walnuts to taste 
  • Cinnamon, ginger, cloves and allspice to taste

Wet ingredients: 

  • 3 medium eggs 
  • 2 ripe mashed bananas 
  • 2 medium grated carrots 
  • 170ml vegetable oil 
  • Sometimes add molasses or golden syrup to taste.
Prep the two batches, combine.  180 cook 40 mins, cool before turning out.
