Very quick to make and deliciously moist due to the addition of bananas.

4. Mash the bananas, add them to the bowl with the raisins and mix well together.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for about 35 - 40 minutes, until the centre springs back when lightly pressed.
6. Leave the cake in the tin to cool for 5 minutes, then turn out on to a wire rack and leave to cool completely. Cut into 20 slices.
