I created this one because we always seem to have overripe bananas in the house, and baking a cake is a perfect way to use them up. There are ground almonds and self raising flour in this recipe, which give the cakes a light, fluffy texture, and the golden syrup and muscovado sugar give a rich sweet flavour. They can be eaten cold in lunch boxes or you can warm them up and add a dash of cream, custard or ice cream to make a simple dessert! Enjoy!

Ingredients: 125g/5oz self raising flour, 75g/3oz ground almonds, 100g/4oz margarine, 100g/4oz light muscovado sugar, 125g/5oz golden syrup, 2 medium eggs, 2 small-medium size bananas, a dash of lemon flavouring (optional), flaked almonds
