Mum's Best Banana Cake

Many of you would know by now, that back in what can only be described as The Olden Days, I was a teacher.  It was a job that I loved and one that I still miss today.  What you might not know, is that as a teacher you are actually learn many things from the the children and parents that you see on a daily basis.  And one of the main things I learnt as a teacher is that it really is the small things in life that make a big difference.

For example, something that many of the parents did back in the day, was to provide me with morning tea on a regular basis.  I know.  So thoughtful.  And such a small, simple act of kindness that really did make a big difference to my day.  Quite often, I would ask those lovely, thoughtful mums for the recipes of whatever it was they delivered to my classroom,  because believe or not, back then I wasn't exactly a whiz in the kitchen.

So today I give you a much loved recipe.  One that was given to me by a mum of a little preppie girl who I taught way back in The Year 2000.  I've since lost touch with the family, but every time I make this cake I think of them and wonder what G is doing with her life.  No doubt, she's a doctor or a lawyer because let's face it, 12 months of hardcore home corner and play dough action at preschool would've totally set her up for a love of all things medical and legal.  Wouldn't it?

How about you?  Do you have a much loved recipe that you love to make?  Feel free to share the link below.  Or not.  Totally up to you xox
