Ingredients:

50g rice semolina (Cream of Rice cereal)
180g granulated sugar
3 tbsp ground ginger
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
240ml milk
180ml vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 plantains, mashed (or 4 green bananas)

Method:

Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl, then mix the eggs, oil, vanilla extract and mashed plantains in a smaller bowl. Add milk to the dry ingredients, whisk-in then add the contents of the smaller bowl.

Pour the mixture into a well-greased baking dish and place in an oven pre-heated to 180°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4) and bake for 35–40 minutes (or until done).

Allow to cool slightly, tip out of the pan and cool completely on a wire rack. This 'bread' can be served with coffee or it can be cut into squares and served as an accompaniment to a main meal.
