Banana cake



 Ingredients
  • Butter : 125 g 
  • Light soft brown sugar : 150 g
  • Eggs : 2
  • Very ripe bananas mashed :3
  •  Plain flour : 250 g
  • Baking powder : 1 tbsp
  • Grated nutmeg : 1/2 tbsp
Method of preparation
  • Preheat the oven to 180C .Grease a 1kg-capacity loaf tin and line the base with baking parchment.
  • Beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy and pale in colour.
  • Beat in the eggs, a little at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Add the bananas to this mixture.
  • Sift the dry ingredients together with a pinch of salt and then fold gently into the banana mixture. (It is important to fold the dry ingredients in gently until just incorporated, rather than simply stirring.)
  • Transfer the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a skewer placed in the middle of the cake comes out clean and dry.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool. (Resist cutting it for 30 minutes or it might crumble.)
  • Serve the sliced loaf with peanut butter and whipped cream.
