Banana Loaf.

Mary Berry’s Banana Loaf (Taken from Mary Berry’s Baking Bible).

Ingredients
100g Softened Butter
175g Caster Sugar
2 Large Eggs
2 Ripe Bananas (mashed)
225g Self Raising Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
2 tbsp Milk


Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180C / Fan 160C / Gas 4.
2. Lightly grease a 2lb or 900g loaf tin, then line the base and sides with baking parchment
3. Measure all ingredients into a mixing bowl and beat for about 2 minutes, until well blended
4. Spoon the mixture into the tin and level the surface
5. Bake in the pre-heated oven for about 1 hour, until well risen and golden brown.
A fine skewer inserted in the centre should come out clean if the loaf is ready.
6. Leave to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then turn out, peel of the parchment and finish cooling on a wire rack.

This was so easy to make and delicious, and there wasn’t much left of it by the time it was cooled on the rack!
