🍰 Desserts

Overripe bananas' finest hour — a walnut-studded loaf that toasts beautifully next day. The kind of simple, generous cake that disappears before it cools. Serve thick slices with tea or a spoonful of whipped cream.

Prep 25 min Cook 49 min Serves 12 Medium

Ingredients

  • Butter3 tbsp
  • Salta pinch
  • Eggs3
  • Sugar1 cup
  • Baking Powder2 tsp
  • Vanilla Extract1 tsp
  • Walnuts1 cup, chopped
  • Brown Sugar1/2 cup
  • Banana3, ripe and mashed

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 180 C / 350 F and line the tin; a properly prepared pan is half the battle.

  2. 2

    Whisk the brown sugar, eggs and sugar until pale, thick and doubled — this takes three or four good minutes.

  3. 3

    Alternate the dry ingredients with the milk, folding with a spatula so the batter stays airy.

  4. 4

    Bake in the middle of the oven for 30-35 minutes; cool in the tin for ten before turning out.

  5. 5

    Level the top, pile on the frosting, and let it rest ten minutes before slicing.

Chef's tip

Weigh your flour if you can; cup measures can be off by twenty percent either way.
