Cherry Cake

Cherry cake, made with drained canned cherry. Egg white + granulated sugar need beating, but don't overdo it, harder egg white will end in denser cake. Good to have it with cherry sauce and Greek yoghurt. Pour in the cherry, top with cake batter, then into the oven. Took 15 minutes to prepare, and about 45 minutes in the oven.  




Banana Upside Down Cake

Made just like a normal banana cake, but first sprinkle red/brown sugar at the bottom of the tin, then lined sliced banana on top, followed by banana cake batter (with mashed banana in the batter). The most moist banana cake I have ever had, and took less than 15 minutes to prepare, and only about 45 minutes in the oven. I think I got the recipe online from bestrecipes.com.au, but can't seem to find it now.
