Banana Loaf
Ingredients
100g of butter, softened
175g of caster sugar
2 eggs
2 ripe bananas, mashed
225g of self-raising flour
1 tsp of baking powder
2 tbsp of milk
Method
-
Lightly grease the loaf tin and line it with non-stick baking parchment.
-
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.
-
Measure all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and beat for about 2 minutes, until well blended; an electric mixer is best for this but of course you can also beat by hand with a wooden spoon.
-
Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and level the surface. Bake for about 1 hour and 10 minutes, until well risen and golden brown. A fine skewer inserted in the centre of the cake should come out clean.
-
Leave the cake to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then loosen with a small palette knife and turn the cake out. Remove the lining paper and leave on a wire rack to cool completely.
