Golden Topped Banana, Seed and Walnut Cake

Method

1. Mash the peeled bananas with a fork and mix in with oil and sugar.
2. Add the flour, baking powder and cinnamon, and combine well.
3. Add the seeds and crushed walnuts.
4. Bake in a lined 8in cake tin for about 15 minutes, before checking. Continue baking, checking every 5 minutes until a cocktail stick, popped into the middle of the cake, comes out clean.
5. Stand to cool and then remove from the tin.

For the icing:

1. Sift the icing sugar into a bowl, add the water and mix into a thick paste.
2. Add the golden syrup and make a thick mixture. To make sure it glazes the cake without running off the edges too much check the mixture is thick enough not run off of a spoon.
3. If it’s really thick, use a pallet knife or back of a large spoon which had been warmed in a glass of hot water, to spread the icing over the cake.
