I got concussed in the weekend, very random accident of an elbow shoved in the temple. Anyway, on Monday morning, prediagnosis, I decided to make a cake. I threw everything into the kitchen wizz, starting with butter, oh dear, just a little left in the house, cooking oil then? None. The only thing I could find to use was lemon infused olive oil so I added that to the left over softened butter, (about 2 tbspoons butter and 1/3 cup oil) I got a recipe book out but found all the measures in ounces so I decided to wing it, make up the recipe as I went. And here it is… 
I added a cup of brown sugar, an egg, 3 bananas, 
a handful of frozen berries, 2 cups of flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, 1 tsp of baking soda dissolved in 1/3 cup of milk,
then decided to throw in a handful of choc chips.
I don’t know if it was the concussion, 
but I did find myself having a she’ll be right, lassez faire attitude most of the week, 
(I guess I couldn’t afford to waste brain waves on sweating the small stuff)
and the cake came out great. For the icing I mixed Mascarpone (or use cream cheese) with a few tablespoons of icing sugar and topped with a chopped up hazelnut slab.
I’d recommend making your own version (or this one) of a laissez faire cake. Just throw in what you love, experiment, it’s fun. 
Just do it and don’t get concussed, but don’t sweat the small stuff either 🙂
