Banana cake/bread

[jemima]

Hello

Does any one have a good banana cake/bread recipe?. I am not much of a cook (i do try though LOL) and I am sure banana cake/bread is a really simple recipe but i need a bit of guidance.

TIA

I have got a fantastic banana bread recipe that is really easy and so yummy - i made it again this week! Need to go to my bub, but will come back and post it for you when I get time.

Also have a delicious, but slighty more time-consuming cake recipe if you would like it.

Banana Bread

1&3/4 cups of SR flour
1/4 cup of Plain flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2/3 cup, firmly packed, brown sugar
1/2 cup skim milk
2 eggs, lightly whisked
50g butter, melted, cooled
2 overripe medium bananas, mashed

Preheat oven to 180C. Grease a loaf tin and line the base and two opposite long sides with baking paper. Sift flours and cinnamon into a bowl, stir in sugar, make a well in the centre. Combine milk, egg, butter and banana in a bowl, then add to the flour mixture and sitr until just combined. Pour into tin and bake for 40-50 minutes, check with a skewer if you like. I prefer this to be slightly underdone rather than overdone IYKWIM? Let cool in tin for a few minutes before cooling on a wire rack. It's very yummy still warm from the oven!

I love this recipe, it is so yummy! It's very nice with a little butter spread on one side.........

Yum - thanks heaps. I am about to give it a go! DS1 is helping which always makes for an interesting experience LOL!

It is cooking as we speak - smells delicious!

[Janie]

Hope you think it tastes just as good!

[jemima]

Mmmmmm - we are eating it at the moment and it is divine - especially good with butter! Thanks for a great recipe!!

So glad you like it! Apparently it's not too fattening which is always a good thing!

Ohhh FANTASTIC girls, I was just wondering about a banana bread recipe the other day, for when the bananas start to get a little too ripe! Hurrah for you!

Dachlostar linked to this the other day so I thought I'd try it. We had a flop the first time, the edges were cooked but the middle gooey (the cooked parts were delish though!) so I have another one cooking now

We loooove this recipe & have another batch going in the oven now

I was just looking for a banana bread recipe as I had 2 over ripe bananas and didn't want to waste them and found this recipe, and it turned out fantastic!!! Light and very tasty! Just finished off a piece hot from the oven with butter, yummmm! Nice to hear it's not too fattening either!

But I dont have a loaf tin, can I use a round tin??

I loooooooove banana cake/bread. My SIL made me a banana cake for my birthday last year and oh my god it was so delicious!!

[Ahurani]

Well I just put it in the oven

But then it was in there for 5 mins and I realised I forgot to put the sugar in it

so I scrambled to quickly stir it in I'll let you know how it turns out

My Mum makes an amazing banana bread using either yoghurt or sour cream...I can't remember which.

I'll call her today at a more reasonable hour and post it on here. I totally agree with the butter thing, too. Banana bread, still warm from the oven, and a smear of butter. Heaven
