I am not a great fan of bananas, my husband loves them. But he likes greenish yellow bananas which are not too sweat and not totally ripened. He has to take a banana to work every day and if they become sweat their fate is my Banana cake haha.
Therefore my relationship with banana loaf is since long.
I followed a simple recipe earlier, now I have improvised the recipe, I have added a bit of crunchy topping to it. Hope my friends enjoy the blend of banana with a touch of cinnamon to it.
You will need:
for the cake
2 cups plain flour
2 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder (bp)
1 tsp bicarbonate soda (bs)
3 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
2-3 sweat bananas mashed with fork
1/4 cup milk
for crunchy topping
1/2 cup ready rolled oats
1/4 cup plain flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup softened butter
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 tsp cinnamon powder
Action:
With an electric mixer, whisk eggs and sugar till soft and smooth about 4-5 minutes, then on lowest speed add butter.
In a separate bowl mix all the dry stuff ( flour, bp, bs, salt )
Now gradually add the dry ingredients and milk one at a time to the egg mix. add vanilla extract, mashed bananas and mix well.
Put the batter into a line tray with grease proof paper or butter paper
Now mix all the ingredients of crunchy topping together and crumble them up with your fingers.
Spread the crumble mix over the batter
Bake at 180 deg for 20 minutes or check with wooden skewer. Baking time will vary according to the depth of the cake tin.
Hot banana cake tastes great with clotted cream. Enjoy.
