Banana bread

Method

1. 1

   Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 2lb loaf tin and line the base and sides with baking parchment.

2. 2

   Cream 140g softened butter and 140g caster sugar until light and fluffy, then slowly add 2 beaten large eggs with a little of the 140g flour.

3. 3

   Fold in the remaining flour, 1 tsp baking powder and 2 mashed bananas.

4. 4

   Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for about 50 mins, or until cooked through. Check the loaf at 5-min intervals from around 30-40 mins in the oven by testing it with a skewer (it should be able to be inserted and removed cleanly), as the time may vary depending on the shape of your loaf tin.

5. 5

   Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then remove to a wire rack.

6. 6

   Mix 50g icing sugar with 2-3 tsp water to make a runny icing.

7. 7

   Drizzle the icing across the top of the cake and decorate with a handful of banana chips.
