Prep time
15 mins
Ingredients
- Plain Flour: 200g plain flour
- Baking Powder: 2 tsp baking powder
- Golden Caster Sugar: 125g golden caster sugar
- Medium Egg: 3 medium eggs
- Banana: 2 large very ripe bananas
- Coconut Oil: 125g coconut oil or butter, plus extra for the tin
- Coconut Yogurt: 2 tbsp coconut yogurt or natural yogurt, plus extra to serve
- Cardamom Pods: seeds from 12 cardamom pods, crushed
Directions
- Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Butter a 900g loaf tin and line with a long strip of baking parchment. Melt the coconut oil or butter in a pan or the microwave. Mash the bananas and add the oil or butter, eggs, sugar and yogurt.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, crushed cardamom and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Add the wet ingredients and whisk to a smooth batter. Pour into the tin and bake for 1 hr 10 mins until golden and risen. Insert a skewer into the centre of the cake to make sure it's cooked - it should come out with a few crumbs but no wet cake mixture. If needed, return the cake to the oven for another 5-10 mins, then check again, and keep going until it's cooked. Serve slightly warm. Once cool, keep in a tin for up to five days.
