Banana Cake Muffins with Lemon Icing.

Today is Fathers Day and I decided to make a variation on one of my Daddy's favourites, Banana Cake, and make it into muffins.

Ingredients

125 grams butter, softened

3/4 cup sugar

2 eggs

2 cups mashed ripe bananas

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 tablespoons hot milk

2 cups standard plain flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 cups icing sugar

1/4 teaspoon butter, softened

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon lemon rind

Directions

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Add mashed banana and mix thoroughly.  Stir soda into hot milk and add to creamed mixture.  Sift flour and baking powder.  Fold into mixture.  Turn into a large greased muffin tin.  Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 40 minutes or until the muffin springs back when lightly touched. 

While the muffins are baking sift the icing sugar into a bowl.  Add butter.  Add sufficient lemon juice to mix to a spreadable consistency.  Flavour with lemon rind.  Leave in the tin for 10 minutes.  While in the tin drizzle over some of the icing so that it drizzles down the side of the muffin into the bottom of the tin.  Turn out on to wire rack.  When cold drizzle with a tad more of the icing and leave to set.  Enjoy warm or cold.  Store in a airtight container.
