Cake, fruit and ice-cream: the all in one dessert!
I wanted to make this several weeks ago, but I kept forgetting to get a pineapple for it. When I did remember to get one there weren’t any good ones, or they were over priced! The pineapple I bought for 70/- last year is 120/- in the market today. Just wrong!

Banana-raisin cake
Adding raisins is an easy way to freshen up an old cake recipe. If you have a recipe that you make often and you just want to change things up a bit, throw in a handful of raisins. I do reccomend soaking them in something ahead of time, even if it’s not alcohol, I might even steam them a little, just so they’re not so dry.
