Best cake ever...bananas and nutella

Ladies - I went to a dinner party last night and a friend of mine is starting a catering company called Moveable Feast. She made the birthday cake for this party and it was so amazing I felt like I needed to share.

here is the recipe in euro measurements (Note, she lined the bottom row of the sides with pecans and didn't put anything on top, looked much nicer:

BANANA, PECAN AND NUTELLA CAKE

pre-heat oven to 170 degrees C

ingredients

4 over ripe bananas

340g castor sugar

340g self raising flour

340g soft butter

6 eggs

100ml milk

1 teaspoon of vanilla essence

80g roughly chopped pecan nuts

then

cream butter and sugar

add the eggs

mash the banana together with the vanilla and the milk

mix all ingredients together

pour into two 25cm baking tins

cook in oven for 40 minutes

leave the cakes to cool whilst preparing the icing

nutella icing

2 tbs Nutella

225g Creme cheese

400g icing sugar

1 tbs vanilla

Mix together

when the cakes are cool put them together with a layer of the nutella icing

generously ice the top of the cake

decorate with fresh banana slices and icing sugar

(if you are a kitchen whizz the bananas taste even better than ever caramelized)
