Ingredients
- 125g Butter, plus extra for greasing
- 150g light soft brown sugar
- 2 Eggs, beaten
- 3 very ripe Bananas, mashed
- 250g plain flour
- 1 tbsp Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp grated Nutmeg
To serve
- peanut butter
- whipped Cream
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4 (160C/gas 3 for fan-forced ovens). Grease a 1kg-capacity loaf tin and line the base with baking parchment.2. Beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy and pale in colour.
3. Beat in the eggs, a little at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. Add the bananas to this mixture.
5. Sift the dry ingredients together with a pinch of salt and then fold gently into the banana mixture. (It is important to fold the dry ingredients in gently until just incorporated, rather than simply stirring.)
6. Transfer the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a skewer placed in the middle of the cake comes out clean and dry.
7. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. (Resist cutting it for 30 minutes or it might crumble.)
8. Serve the sliced loaf with peanut butter and whipped cream.

This is easy to make and tastes lovely, my daughter loved helping me make it too. Will now replace my old recipe.
Foolproof recipe. Delicious
amazingly easy and very tasty
Quite a resilient little recipe this one. I pretty much did everything the wrong way round, added the wrong quantity of flour and the little devil still came out moist and light! Its really very good!
