Units
Scale
- 80 g melted butter
- 70 g granulated white sugar
- 3 medium over-ripe bananas
- 2 tbsp whole milk
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 pcs whole eggs
- 160 g cake flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 80 g walnuts (roughly chopped )
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170°C/ 350°F (remember, each oven is different, find your own best heat). Line and grease a 1lb loaf tin.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan. Then pour the butter into a mixing bowl with the sugar and stir in.
- Roughly chop the walnuts. Set aside.
- For the dry ingredients, sift the flour, mix with the baking soda and baking powder in another mixing bowl. Then add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Mash the bananas with a fork and then mix with the butter mixture. Set it aside.
- Add the vanilla extract to the milk and stir it. Then add the eggs to the mixture and mix them until they are well combined.
- Gently pour the flour into the banana mixture. Add in two batches and mix well, using a spatula or wooden spoon.
- Add around 60g of roughly chopped walnuts into the batter and gently mix them together.
- Pour the batter into the prepared tin and sprinkle the remaining 20g of chopped walnuts on the top of the batter. Bake for about 35-40 minutes or until the cake has risen and is a golden colour. Insert a skewer or knife into the centre and the cake is ready if it comes out clean. If you find the top of the cake or the walnuts start to turn dark brown, you can cover it with aluminium foil and continue baking until it is done.
- . Remove from the oven and cool for 5-10 minutes in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy with a cup of tea!
