| Published: 10th December 2007 13:38 |
Ingredients:
300g plain flour
1 tsp salt
1 heaped tsp baking powder
175g light muscovado sugar
1 tsp lime rind grated
1 medium egg beaten
1 medium banana mashed with a bit of lime juice
150ml low fat natural fromage frais
115g sultanas
finely grated lime rind
Topping:
115g icing sugar
2tsp lime juice
banana chips
1 tsp lime rind finely grated
- Preheat the oven to 180C/Gas Mark 4. Grease and line a deep 18cm round cake tin with baking parchment.
- Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a mixing bowl and stir in the sugar and lime rind.
- Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the egg, banana, fromage frais and sultanas. Mix well.
- Spoon the mixture into the tin and smooth the surface. Bake for 40 - 45 mins until firm to the touch or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool for 10 mins then turn out on a wire rack.
- To make the topping, sift the icing sugar into a small bowl and mix with the lime juice to form a soft, but not too runny icing. Stir in the grated lime rind. Drizzle over the cake, letting it run down the sides.
- Decorate the cake with banana chips and lime rind. Let the cake stand for 15 minutes so that the icing sets.
