Mary Berry's Banana Bread

Now and then we indulge in a simple cake, one with limited fat and one where you can use half sugar and this recipe is one of those.


Banana Bread

100g butter (a substitute is lower fat spread)

`175g castor sugar (you can use half sugar)

225 Self raising flour

2 eggs

2  v. ripe bananas

1 tsp baking powder

2 tbl sp milk(semi is ok)


Pre heat oven 180 or gas mark 4

Mix all ingredients till well mixed.

Spoon mixture into prepared loaf tin.

Cook for an 1 hour until banana bread is well risen and golden brown.

Test if cooked with tooth pick, if wet cook for longer.

Dench with runny icing flavoured with chocolate... or not... doesn't really need it as it is very moist.

Leave to cool before slicing and then ....

ENJOY

I'm not a fan of cooked bananas, but I do love a marmalade or lemon cake.

I enjoy anything banana. This is simple and sounds delicious. Thanks, I'll be making it soon. Colder weather has me baking more of course.

It's interesting to see the different kinds of measures that you use in you recipe. I've never seen a gas mark 4 her in the US.

I omitted the sugar accidentally from a banana bread recipe! It was perfect without it.

I have some frozen ripe bananas and was thinking of making some banana bread. It's finally cool enough to turn on the oven to bake something!
