BANANA LOAF CAKE I
This recipe is a family favorite. It is great for using overripe bananas. I usually double the recipe and make two loaves. You can also add walnuts if you wish. Note: When your bananas are overripe, you can put them in the freezer until you are ready to use them.

BANANA LOAF CAKE
Recipe from an email from a kitchen wharehouse supplier - looks interesting and would like to try if I can get some bananas ripened enough and not have the DS throw them out on me (24 year old nearing 25 with autism intellectual impairment), I just may get to make this recipe, in the mean time here for safe keeping. Times are estimated.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 175C fan forced (for conventional I would recommend about 185C).
- Grease and line (with baking paper) a standard loaf tin.
- Sift flour, bi-carbonate and baking powder together.
- Cream butter and sugar with a stand mixer or hand held mixer until well mixed.
- Add the egg and mashed banana and mix well together.
- Add the sifted flour and baking powder till incorporated and mix well and then add the 2 tablespoons milk and mix through.
- Add sifted flour and baking powder till incorporated.
- Pour mix into prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, test with skewer for doneness (should come out clean).
- Would recommend to leave in pan for 5 to 10 minutes before turning out.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana loaf cake will be.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature: The ideal baking temperature for banana loaf cake is 350°F (175°C). Baking at a higher temperature can result in a dry cake.
- Check the cake for doneness with a toothpick: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting to set properly.
Conclusion:
Banana loaf cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and versatile nature, it's a perfect choice for any occasion. Whether you're serving it for breakfast, lunch, or dessert, banana loaf cake is sure to be a hit. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
