Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 50 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 5 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 140 g softened butter (1/2 cup)
  • 140 g caster sugar (approx. 3/4 cup)
  • 2 eggs large, beaten
  • 140 g flour (approx. 1 cup)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 bananas mashed
  • 50 g icing sugar (approx. 1/2 cup)
  • 2-3 tsp water
  • Banana chips for decoration

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 356°F/320°F fan/gas 4.
  • Butter a 2lb loaf tin and line the base and sides with baking parchment.
  • 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.
  • Fold in the remaining flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 2 mashed bananas.
  • 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.
  • Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then remove to a wire rack.
  • Mix 50g icing sugar with 2-3 tsp water to make a runny icing.
  • Drizzle the icing across the top of the cake and decorate with a handful of banana chips.
