Easy Banana Loaf Cake Recipe by Mary Berry

• temps actif: 15 minutes
• temps total: 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingrédients

100g (4oz) butter, softened

175g (6oz) caster sugar

2 eggs

2 ripe bananas, mashed

225g (8oz) self-raising flour

1 tsp baking powder

2 tbsp milk

Instructions

You will need a 900g (2lb) loaf tin, 17 x 9 x 9cm (6½ x 3½ x 3½in) base measurement.

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 two minutes, until well blended; an electric mixer is best for this but of course you can also beat by hand with a wooden spoon.

Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and level the surface.

Bake for about one hour, 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. Slice thickly to serve.
