Banana loaf cake

AT YOUR PACE, STEP BY STEP

Let’s get baking

1. 01

   Preheat the oven to 175 °C. Grease a loaf pan approximately 23 × 13 cm and line its base with parchment.

2. 02

   Mash the bananas with a fork. Stir in the eggs, sugar, oil, milk, and vanilla until evenly combined.

3. 03

   In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Fold into the wet ingredients gently, just until combined.

4. 04

   Pour into the pan, filling it no more than three-quarters full. Level the top and place on the center oven rack.

5. 05

   Bake for 50 to 55 minutes. A skewer inserted in the center should come out without raw batter. If the top browns too quickly, cover it loosely with foil.

6. 06

   Rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then cool on a rack for 30 minutes before slicing. Keep well wrapped in a cool place for up to 3 days.

Times are approximate and vary with your oven. Use oven mitts and check doneness before serving.
