Banana loaf
2 ripe bananas
100g soft butter
175g golden caster sugar
2 eggs
225g self-raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2-3 tablespoons milk
Preheat the oven to 160 degrees.
Mash the bananas, then beat together with the other ingredients in a large bowl using an electric whisk, for about 2 minutes. Add a little extra milk if it looks a bit stiff. It should pour quite easily into the tin.
Pour into a buttered and lined loaf tin (900g), and bake for 1 hour until risen and golden brown. Cool in the tin for a few minutes before turning out onto a wire rack. It freezes well.
Variations: add a pinch of cinnamon, some chocolate chips, or some dried fruit (e.g. raisins) for a twist!
Lakeland sell wonderful loaf tin liners which are really useful!
