Ingredients

  • Vegetable Oil: 75g vegetable oil or sunflower oil (weight), plus extra for greasing
  • Brown Sugar: 100g brown sugar
  • Cinnamon: 3 tsp cinnamon or mixed spice
  • Plain Flour: 225g plain flour (or use self-raising flour and reduce the baking powder to 2 heaped tsp)
  • Baking Powder: 3 heaped tsp baking powder
  • Banana: 3 large black bananas
  • Dried Fruit: 50g dried fruit or nuts (optional)

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mash 3 large black peeled bananas with a fork, then mix well with 75g vegetable or sunflower oil and 100g brown sugar.
  2. Add 225g plain flour, 3 heaped tsp baking powder and 3 tsp cinnamon or mixed spice, and combine well. Add 50g dried fruit or nuts, if using.
  3. Bake in a greased, lined 2lb loaf tin for 20 minutes. Check and cover with foil if the cake is browning.
  4. Bake for another 20 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
  5. Allow to cool a little before slicing. It's delicious freshly baked, but develops a lovely gooey quality the day after.
