LindsD the perfect Guardian recipe is the one I've tried. It's not quite what I'm after. I used to buy far too much banana bread from a deli near college when I was a student and I think that's my idea of perfect banana bread. Or maybe I'm just doing something wrong and it should turn out a lot lighter than it does! |

Ah I see. I guess it is about expectations.

It's gone down well with daughter anyway, and that was one of the main aims. Something for her lunchbox which doesn't come from a supermarket.

*sigh* I tried the BBC good food recipe above and it was a disaster. I suspect I put too much banana in -- I'll try it again with less and see what happens. It was a heavy uncooked mess in the middle and overcooked on the outside, so maybe the oven was too hot? Or too cool? I used to be able to make cakes easily, once upon a time. |

(As I bought too many bananas on the market I'll be trying again tomorrow. And making mini muffins for good measure - easy to freeze and perfect for daughter's lunchbox.)

I've used this recipe before with some success, I think it needed longer than it said from recollection although I will say it's been a long time since I made it. Moist banana cake, easy to make and uses up overripe bananas. Serves 8 Ingredients 2 ripe bananas (overripe is best) 170g caster sugar 170g self raising flour 170g soft margarine 3 eggs Few drops vanilla essence Preparation Use a food processor. Pre-heat oven to 160C / gas mark 3. Add all ingredients and blend until well mixed. Pour into lined loaf tin. Bake for 1 hour. Cool, and enjoy. Looking at it now it looks like a normal sponge mix with bananas added, but it was liked when I made it.
