Ingredients
10 serving
3 large bananas, ripe
75ml vegetable oil or sunflower oil
100g brown sugar
225g plain flour (or use self-raising flour and reduce the baking powder to 2 heaped tsp)
3 heaped tsp baking powder
3 tsp cinnamon powder or mixed spice
50g dried fruit or nuts (optional)
Method
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mash 3 large ripe peeled bananas with a fork, then mix well with 75g vegetable or sunflower oil and 100g brown sugar.
- Add 225g plain flour, 3 heaped tsp baking powder and 3 tsp cinnamon or mixed spice, and combine well. Add 50g dried fruit or nuts, if using.
- Bake in an oiled, lined 2lb loaf tin for 20 minutes. Check and cover with foil if the cake is browning.
- Bake for another 20 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
- Allow cooling a little before slicing. It’s delicious freshly baked but develops a lovely gooey quality the day after.
