Happy National Banana Bread day here is a fab recipe to make after school to celebrate this bananas holiday in sweet sugary style!
Ingredients:
140g butter, softened, plus extra for the tin
140g caster sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
140 self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 very ripe bananas mashed
50g icing sugar
Handful dried banana chips, for decoration
Method:
1. Heat oven to 180 C/Gas 4. Butter a 2lb loaf tin and line the base and the sides with baking parchment.
2. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then slowly add the eggs with a little flour. Fold in the remaining flour, baking powder and bananas. Pour into the tin and bake for about 30 mins until a skewer comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 10 mins, and then remove to a wire rack.
3. Mix the icing sugar with 2-3 tsp water to make a runny icing. Drizzle the icing across the top of the cake and decorate with banana chips.
Go bananas with your baking!
