Brilliant Banana Bread

Sorry it's taken me so long to post this, what with one thing and another it got a little delayed, anyway here you go.

Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4
Grease and line a 2lb loaf tin  I used a silicon one and there isn't enough fat in the mixture for it not to be greased.

140g Softened Butter
140g Caster Sugar
140g Plain Flour
2 Large Eggs- beaten
1 Tsp Baking Powder
2 Very Ripe, Large-ish Bananas


Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy.

Add the beaten eggs into the creamed mixture slowly, adding in a little of the flour at the same time. Once all the eggs have been mixed in add the rest of the flour and baking powder and fold in. Mash up the bananas, fold that into the mixture and pour into the loaf tin.

Bake for 45mins, it may need longer, and it might go quite dark on top, but make sure it is cooked all the way through.  Mine sank a little after it cooled, but it was still delicious, especially still warm from the oven and spread with a little butter. Trust me it's amazing.

Here is what was left of mine after about 2 hours!
