Ingredients

1 cup Chelsea White Sugar or Chelsea Organic Raw Sugar
100g butter, melted
3 eggs
3 bananas, mashed with a fork
½ cup low fat milk
1 tsp baking soda
150ml plain or fruit yoghurt (apricot works well)
2 cups plain flour
3 tsp baking powder

Method

Preheat oven to 160°C conventional or 140ºC fan-forced.
Grease a 21 cm round tin (with high sides) and line base with baking paper.
Beat sugar, melted butter and eggs until pale and creamy. Add the mashed bananas and beat well.
Heat the milk in the microwave until nearly boiling (approx. 1 min). Mix in the baking soda then stir into the banana mixture.
Add the yoghurt, flour and baking powder. Mix well and pour into the prepared cake tin. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the cake is cooked in the middle and just pulling away from the edges of the tin (insert a skewer into the centre, if it comes out clean it is cooked). Cool in tin for 5 minutes then release the sides and cool on a wire rack. When cold, swirl with icing.
