As you know, baking is not my forte. So some overripe bananas spurred me into
action. The result was surprisingly
successful given a couple of hitches.
Ingredients:
140g softened butter (plus a bit more to butter the
tin)
140g white sugar
2 eggs, beaten
140g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 ripe bananas, mashed
For the icing – 50g Icing Sugar, lemon juice
Method:
Heat your oven to 160C (about 320 F)
Butter a loaf tin – I only had a square one. Line it with baking paper
Cream your butter and sugar together – things were
going smoothly until I discovered that my stick blender was broken. So I did this by hand – so it was nowhere
near as smooth and creamy as it should have been.
Slowly add the beaten eggs together with a smidge of
flour.
Fold in the flour and baking powder and the mashed
bananas.
Pour into your tin and bake for 30-40 minutes.
Leave in the tin for 10 minutes or so and then turn it
out onto a wire rack.
When cool drizzle the icing over it (ahem it wasn't
quite cool).
I love lemon and my husband loves bananas . . . maybe I should give this a try (and wait until it's cool before adding the drizzle -- LOL)
ReplyDeleteYum! Sounds good even with your challenges. I do enjoy a good banana bread
ReplyDeleteLemon anything floats my boat. This would be a nice addition to afternoon coffee.
