A simple banana loaf recipe that really should be called tasty banana loaf. Once you make it, you'll see why. This recipe was originally taken from BBC Good Food and altered slightly to be even better. When I made it, it reminded me of my childhood, what will it remind you of when you smell the fresh loaf coming out of the oven?

By the way, before I finish on the description, I just wanted to say that this is a good one to use if you have over ripe bananas. So use them instead of throwing them out.

Enjoy!

- Heat the oven to 180C / gas mark 4 / 160 C for fan oven.
- Get a loaf tin and line the base with parchment paper or use butter to grease the sides and bottom
- Beat the eggs in a small bowl
- In a separate bowl mix butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then while mixing add 2 beaten large eggs and add little of the flour, say 1/4 of the amount you have reserved.
- Now fold in the remaining flour, then mix in baking powder and mashed bananas.
- Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for approx. 30 mins and use a skewer at the end to check if it is finished. This means dip the skewer into the cake and pull it out, if it comes out clean, then the cake is baked and ready to be taken out.
- Remove from oven and tin and place onto a wire rack to cool.
- Here you can drizzle some icing sugar on top by taking some icing sugar and a little of water and mixing it. This we didn't do, because we thought the taste was already great!

Enjoy the result.
