This banana loaf was a creation of noel who wanted to wish dad in his own way. He has been attending after school cookery classes and he absolutely love cooking, His mom is so pleased as she knows where he got that from!!!Thanks to Miss S T for sharing this recipe with me, Noel actually made this in one of his cookery class and when his dad tasted it, it seems it was divine, so our little cook was all geared up to recreate this at home. We tinged Miss ST’s a little by omitting butter milk, adding a little crunch by sunflower seeds and created our version.
As we had one ripe banana at home, we made a small loaf which was more than enough for 3 n we had 2 to 3 helpings.
Ripe banana: 1 mashed Sugar: 40gm Egg:1 Self Raising Flour: 100gm Any Nuts and Raisins can be added along with mashed banana to give a texture to otherwise moist loaf.Add couple of tablespoons of each. Sodium Bi carbonate: 1tsp
How to make: Take a saucepan, hand mixer and first mix butter and sugar for 2 mins. Then add egg and whisk for another 2 min. Now add mashed banana, raisins,sunflower seeds and fold it in. Now add Flour and Sodium bi carbonate and mix well. Pour this cake mixture in a greased bread loaf tin and bake at 250 degrees centigrade for 15 to 20 minutes. Pass a skewer in the middle and if it comes out clean then the loaf is ready to be served. Its so light and tasty, a definite for those wintery tea times.
If you would like to do the icing, take couple of tbsp of icing sugar and add 1 tsp of water and mix well(Noel’s favourite time of all) drizzle with a tea spoon on the loaf to give more sweetness to it and it is optional. Forgot to mention that only half the icing was on the loaf and half, do I need to say more!!!I can see a little one with a cheeky smile and that icing spoon in his mouth!!
