I have this nice recipe for Banana cake i want to make tomorrow

Makes 1 x 900g loaf
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 40-45 minutes
2 ripe bananas (about 400g)
150g softened butter
150g soft brown sugar
300g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 eggs, lightly beaten
100ml vegetable oil

The problem is i cant find a cake tin to fit the Bananas in only square or round cake tins
so anyone know where i can get a cake tin the right shape ?

The nearest in shape I've found for you is a Fire Engine shaped cake tin.

Though your banana can't be longer than five inches, and can't have a bend more than 30 degrees, otherwise it ain't going to fit in whole.

I think the only answer is to take a knife to your banana, then it should fit in an ordinary loaf/cake tin.

As you suggest i took a knife to the banana but nothing happened they are still sat there next to each other doing nothing

how long does this take to work and what happens

Just take the knife and start chopping.

Do be careful though, and if you are still wearing your jim-jams it's probably safer to wear a pinny.

I dont know what difference it makes but i have been up and dressed since 5-30am
but will put me pinny on as you say.
right i took the knife and have now chopped up the worktop sink unit and table but the banana has not moved, have i got the wrong sort of Bananas or are they just dead they dont look that fresh come to think of it
