Banana and Oat Loaf Cake

I love bananas and usually have one for breakfast but as soon as they start to go brown I just can't even touch them.  It would be such a waste just to throw them away so once they are brown all over I mash them up and bake them into a cake.  It's the perfect accompaniment for a mid-morning cup of tea.

Hot Milk Cake with Blueberry Compote

I love cake and one of my favourite memories of growing up is all the amazing birthday cakes my mum used to make for myself and my siblings.  Every year she would put in extraordinary amounts of effort to make the most fantastic and imaginatively designed cakes.  Between us we've had everything from huge princess castles, pirate treasure, racing cars... in fact you name it and one of us have probably had it!
