Banana Loaf (Cornerstone Deli)

Many thanks to Kathy and Dawn at Cornerstone Deli for this recipe - why not try it during the lockdown and let them know how it went by commenting on their Facebook Page.

Ingredients:

• 140g soft butter, plus some for the tin
• 140g caster sugar
• 2 large beaten eggs
• 140g self-raising flour
• 1tsp baking powder
• 2 very ripe bananas, mashed

Method

Heat oven to 180c/160c fan/gas 4

Butter a 2lb loaf tin and line the base and sides with baking parchment.

Cream softened butter and castor sugar until light and fluffy, then slowly add the beaten eggs with a little flour.

Fold in the remaining flour, baking powder and mashed bananas till mixed.

Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for about 30 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean when inserted.

Cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then remove and cool on wire rack.
