Banana Loaf

  Hello Everybody!

  I love baking! But I have never made anything in a loaf tin before, until now... So I thought what better way to use up some bananas and use my loaf tin than make a banana loaf! The recipe I chose was really straight foward and the banana loaf came out very moist and scrummy!

  

                                                            Servings: 8

                                                            Prep Time: 15-20 mins

                                                            Cook Time: 30-40 mins

                                                            Difficulty: Easy

  For this recipe you will need:

  140g butter, softened, plus extra for the tin

  140g caster sugar

  2 large eggs, beaten

  140g self-raising flour

  1 tsp baking powder

  2 very ripe banana, mashed

  50g icing sugar

  Handful of dried banana chips, for decoration (optional, I raided our cereal packet for mine!)

  Method:

1. Heat the oven to 180C/160 fan/gas 4. Butter a 2lb loaf tin and line the base and sides with baking parchment.

2. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then slowly add the eggs with a little flour. Fold in the remaining flour, baking powder and bananas. Pour into the tin, smooth the top and bake for about 30-40 mins until a skewer comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then remove to a wire rack.

3. Mix the icing sugar with 2-3 tsp water to make a runny icing. Drizzle the icing across the top of the cake and decorate with banana chips.

  

  It is so good! I can't wait to have another piece! If you do happen to make these please tag me on Instagram showing me your bakes! I will see you next week!
