Family sized Chocolate or Banana Cake

Ingredients

250grams melted butter
2 1/2 cups of CSR Caster Sugar
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons CSR Golden Syrup
4 cups plain flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons baking cocoa for chocolate cake -or for Banana cake, 2 very ripe, large mashed bananas
2 teaspoons baking soda
600mls(approx 3 cups warm milk)

Method

Cream butter and caster sugar. Add eggs and golden syrup - if making banana cake, add bananas and mix well. Sift together flour, baking powder - and cocoa if baking chocolate cake. Dissolve baking soda in milk. Blend dry ingredients and milk into the butter mixture together and mix until well combined and mixture is lump free.
Pour into a very large cake tin (equivalent to oven roasting dish) lined with greaseproof paper.
Bake 180°C for 50-60 minutes or until cake comes away from the paper.
Wait 10 minutes before turning cake onto rack.
When cold, ice with chocolate icing sprinkle with coconut and serve.

Comments

Do not remove baking paper until cake is completely cold.This is to keep cake moist.
Mixture is enough to make 4 average sized cakes.

Caster Sugar

Ingredients: cane sugar

Caster sugar dissolves easily so it is ideal for meringues, puddings, jellies and cake mixes. When used in baking, the smaller sugar crystals caramelise evenly so it produces a fine golden colour in the finished product.
Being a superfine white sugar it can be used as a dry topping, often sprinkled over fruits or baked goods as a light dusting finish.

Original Golden Syrup

Ingredients: cane sugar, water

CSR Original Golden Syrup is a liquid gold.

The rich, dark blend of cane syrups combine to produce the traditional and distinctive flavour for which CSR is famous.

The perfect baking ingredient for adding moisture, colour and flavour. Gingernuts, Brandy Snaps and Anzac Biscuits are just a few examples of how golden syrup can be used to produce a deliciously rich, chewy result, making it a favourite with Australian families for generations.

CSR Original Golden Syrup is available in an easy-to-use jar, which features a screw top lid, making it easy to hold and convenient to store.
