Ingredients
10 total- 125g unsalted butter, softened
- 175g Billington's Unrefined Golden Caster Sugar
- 2 eggs, medium
- 3 ripe bananas, 2 mashed and 1 sliced lengthways
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp Nielsen-Massey Vanilla Extract
- 225g self-raising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp lemon juice, optional
Method
6 stepsStep 1
Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Grease and line a 2lb loaf tin with baking paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl or a stand mixer, beat together the butter and Billington's Unrefined Golden Caster Sugar on a high speed for 3 mins, or until light and fluffy.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking together between each addition. Next, stir in the 2 mashed bananas, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
Step 4
Sift the flour, baking powder and ground cinnamon into the bowl. Beat together for a few seconds until just combined.
Step 5
Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and top with the sliced banana. Brush the banana with a little lemon juice to prevent it discolouring in the oven.
Step 6
Bake for 1h, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 mins, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool fully before slicing.
