Ingredients:
Packet cake mix (Vanilla or butter cake)
2-3 Bananas (depending on size) - must be overripe
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
and whatever ingredients the cake mix requires (usually 1 egg and milk)

Icing sugar to decorate

Preparation time:
Whatever the cake mix says, usually around 20 mins.

Oven Temp:
See cake mix packet

Method:

1). mash the bananas well.

2).  Make cakemix as the packet says.

3). Add the bananas to the mix, and add cinnamon.  Beat well.  Then let stand for a minute to release some air.

4).  Pour into greased/lined cake tin (I personally make mine in little individual portion sized cake tins).

5).  Bake according to packet mix.  When browned and cooked, remove from tin and dust with icing sugar.

This makes a really moist and lovely cake.  Best eaten the same day.  Because you don't add extra flour etc. to the pre-packaged cake mix, it goes lovely and moist.  You could use butter icing on this if you like, but simply dusting with icing sugar is fine in my opinion.
