Hi Dave, When I pulled up the site it appeared to be pie....different fruit pies. Could you resend the url for Nordic word Kaka. Perhaps it is info I could add to this forum Mary

Hi Mary, They have always been cake in Australia,banana cakes are very popular,what else can you do with black banana's.As far as slang we follow the English when we say "that takes the cake". Thanks Mary always interesting at your forums! Leanne Busby http://www.aussie-money-tree.biz http://www.aussie-money-tree.info

Hi Leanne, Thanks for stopping in. By black banana, I assume you mean over ripe. It is amazing that the cake takes best with an almost rotten banana. That is a true example of the similarity between bread and cake. It can be banana bread if baked in a bread loaf pan but it is a cake if baked in a cake pan. All tastes the same.
