About Margarine
Margarine, as a generic term, can indicate any of a wide range of butter-substitutes. In many parts of the world, margarine has become the best-selling table spread, although butter and olive oil also command large market shares. Margarine is an ingredient in the preparation of many other foods. In some regions people may refer to margarine as butter in informal speech, but (at least in the United States and the European Community) laws forbid food packaging to refer to margarine as “butter”. Recipes sometimes refer to margarine as oleo or as shortening.
INGREDIENTS
Makes one cake
2 eggs
4 tablespoons milk
150 gm soft brown sugar
100 gm soft margarine
450 gm / 1 lb bananas, peeled and chopped
225 gm self-raising flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
40 gm drinking chocolate powder
Icing
50 gm icing sugar
40 gm drinking chocolate
1 tablespoon water
1. Place the eggs, milk, sugar, margarine and bananas into a liquidizer and blend until smooth.
2. Sift the flour, baking powder and drinking chocolate into a large bowl.
3. Stir in the banana mixture and mix thoroughly until well combined.
4. Spoon the mixture into a 2.25 litre / 4 pint greased microwave baking ring.
5. Set the microwave at maximum (full).
6. Cook for 5 minutes.
7. Turn the ring round and cook for a further 5 minutes.
8. Gently spread any uncooked cake mixture over the surface.
9. Turn round and cook for 5 minutes.
10. Leave the ring to stand for 5 minutes before turning it out.
11. Leave to cool completely.
12. Mix the sifted icing sugar and drinking chocolate together.
13. Quickly stir in the water.
14. Spread the glacé icing over the top and let some drizzle down the sides of the cake.
Note:
1. This recipe on cooking times is for a 700 watt microwave cooker.
2. If your microwave has a higher output, then decrease the cooking time, checking two-thirds of the way through the time suggested and continuing to cook as necessary.
3. If your microwave has a lower output, then you will probably have to increase the cooking times slightly. However, there are many factors which influence cooking times, including the actual size of the oven cavity, so always check well-ahead of the maximum time. Remember, you cannot spoil food by removing it halfway through cooking, then putting it back, but once the food is overcooked it is spoilt.

I love to cook almost as much as I like to eat...Fortunetly for me, my high octane metabolism allows me that kind of guilty, pleasureabe indulgance!
Most of the time a dessert, (like many of yours!) are so rich and delicious, that one small serving is all I need to satisfy my dessert hungry palette...
Lucky me! lol
Take care,
