BANANA LOAF

-Fatima Sydow

Ingredients

125 grams of butter ( room temperature)

1 cup of sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla essence

3 super over ripe large bananas , the browner the better( if its a bit small , use four

bananas, MASHED with a fork)

1 and 3/4 cups of cake flour

1 pinch of salt

1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda/ baking soda

Method

With electric mixer , whisk butter and sugar until light and creamy , add the vanilla

essence and eggs on by one , still whisking , add the mashed bananas, flour, baking soda

and salt , now give it a quick stir until just well combined . Next, spoon the batter in a

greased loaf tin and bake in a preheated oven 180°C for 50-55 minutes or until your

insert a toothpick or knife and it comes out clean .

Tip - when still slightly warm , wrap in cling wrap the banana loaf for , 30 minutes , this

will create a moist toffee like outer layer and increase the inside brownish colour of

cake. Please note that no baking powder is used for this recipe.
