Classic & easy
Ingredients:
4.4oz/125g Butter
5.2oz/150g Golden caster sugar
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 egg, beaten within an inch of its life
2 very ripe Bananas
6.7oz/190g Self raising flour (we like things that are self-sufficient)
1/4 cup/2oz/60ml Milk ~ OR replace the milk with rum (Appleton is THE best)
1 tsp of Pimento (or mixed spice)
1-2 tbsp Demerara sugar for top
4oz/which is like, 113.something g’s, gah whatever, just throw a ton of chocolate in there! And make it Bournville.
(Walnuts/or any other nuts you have are optional. I refuse to work out how many for you. A handful. Depending on how big or small your hands are will determine how nutty your Banana cake is).
Method:
- Grease or line (people who do both are psycho) a 2 lb loaf tin
- Melt butter & mix with sugar & vanilla until smooth
- Add mix to mashed bananas
- add beaten egg & milk(rum) & mix together
- sift in the flour and combine
- rough chop chocolate and stir into the mix
- Add nuts now if using
- pour into the tin, sprinkle top with girl Dem sugar
- Bake at 350°F/170°C/Gas mark 3 for 35min or until a skewer comes out clean
- Cool in tin before turning out on a rack
Enjoy.
