Ingredients
- 100 g Butter (softened) (4oz)
- 175 g Caster sugar (6oz)
- 2 Eggs
- 2 Ripe bananas (mashed)
- 225 g Self-raising flour (8oz)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoon Milk
Instructions
- Grease a 900g (2lb) loaf tin with a 17 x 9 x 9cm (6½ x 3½ x 3½in) base measurement and line it with non-stick baking parchment.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.
- Place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat for about two minutes until well blended. An electric mixer is recommended, but hand beating with a wooden spoon is also suitable.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin, ensuring an even surface.
- Bake for approximately one hour or until the cake is well-risen and golden brown. You can check if it's done by inserting a fine skewer into the center; it should come out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the tin for a few minutes. Then, gently loosen it with a small palette knife and turn the cake out. Remove the lining paper.
- Place the cake on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice the cake thickly before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for a sweeter taste.
- Toast walnuts for extra flavour and crunch.
- Don't overmix; keep the batter lumpy for a moist loaf.
