Ingredients

  • cake
  • 1/2 c. butter 1 stick
  • 1 c. sugar
  • 2 x Large eggs
  • 3 x ripe bananas pureed
  • 2 c. flour
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda baking soda
  • 1/2 c. cashew nuts minced Merringue
  • 4 x egg whites
  • 1 c. sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. light rum

Directions

  1. Cream butter & sugar; beat in Large eggs one at a time. Mix in mashed bananas & flour sifted with soda & nutmeg. Add in cashew nuts. Bake about 50 min in lined, greased cake tin.
  2. zosha's notes: skip the "lining", just butter & flour. Generally a cake tin would mean an 8" round cake pan. You could make it in a loaf pan as well. The meringue is obviously part of the cake, but it doesn't say what you are supposed to do with it. I suspect which it is one of those things you are supposed to know. So here is my guess ... spread the meringue after the cake has cooked & cooled and bake a little while longer.
  3. Meringue: beat egg whites, add in sugar & rum gradually and continue beating till mix holds a peak.
