Finally, the perfect banana cake!

Every time I get those brown bananas in my fruit bowl I think 'ooh lovely, a yummy banana cake' and it never quite works out. BUT practice makes perfect! 

Here's the recipe for moist, sweet, moreish (and not too unhealthy) banana and walnut cake.

Ingredients:

3 small ripe bananas (the browner the better!), mashed
100g plain flour
3 eggs
100g butter or other spread
100g soft brown sugar / 50g sweetener (or you could use all sugar or all sweetener)
1 tsp baking powder
small handful chopped walnuts (or any other nuts)
handful of raisins
2 tsp cinnamon or ground ginger

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C and grease a loaf tin.

Mix the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the flour, eggs, baking powder and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly. Stir in the banana, nuts and raisins. Pour the mixture into the tin. Bake in the oven for around 50 minutes (until a skewer comes out clean).

Serve warm with a dollop of creme fraiche, ice cream or greek yogurt.
