Spiced Rum Banana Cake

Don’t be put off by the rum bit. The bananas are mushed with the rum and kept aside so that the bananas are infused with the flavour. However when you bake the cake the rum effect evaporates and you are left with a subtle taste but no side effect.

The spices are cinnamon and nutmeg and they go really well with banana. Just imagine all this amazing buffet of taste in a cake!!
