Mum's Banana Cake

Mum taught me a neat trick with this cake. It is actually something I think would work really well when baking with the alternate flours you have to use when you have to avoid gluten.... because almost everything I have tasted that has been made with these flours tastes awful. Dry, crumbly - ick. I think this trick might go some way to solving that problem.

MUM'S BANANA CAKE

125g butter
175g sugar
cream these together till light and fluffy
Add
2 eggs
2 ripe bananas - mashed
Sift, then add
175g plain flour (now here's the trick! measure the flour then take away 1 tablespoon of it and in its place add 1 tablespoon of dessicated coconut)
1 tsp baking powder
50g cornflour
Now add
2 tbsp boiling milk, mixed with
1 level tsp baking soda

Bake 180c

The coconut makes the cake lighter and more moist.
This is another recipe that everyone asks for.
