Banana Bread

Satveer turned up today demanding banana bread.  Far be it from me to disappoint such a deserving lady, so banana cake it was. 

We pulled up our all-time favourite banana bread recipe from theppk.com.  To the basic recipe we made a couple of adaptations:





1) After putting half the batter in to the loaf tin, we put a whole banana on top, running the length of the tin, then covered it with the other half of the batter.   This brilliant idea was initially suggested by Sour Cherry at one of our baking days, and creates a delicious, moist centre to the loaf.
2) I sprinkled a mixture of cinnmon and brown sugar on the top of the batter to create a really tasty crunchy caramelised top to the cake.


As always this recipe turned out a really delicious, moist cake which remains a firm favourite.
