METHOD

Preheat the oven to 170°C.

Put the sugar and eggs in a freestanding electric mixer with a paddle attachment and beat until well incorporated, then mix in the mashed bananas.

Sieve the flour, baking powder, baking powder, cinnamon and ginger add to the mixture. Mix thoroughly until all the dry ingredients have been incorporated into the egg mixture.
