Hey everyone,
I wanted to start sharing my love of cooking so I thought I
would start posting recipes that I have been using and the final pictures.
Yesterday I made banana bread; one of my favourite yet
messiest recipes to make. It is a pretty simple recipe once you get your head
around it. The first time I made it I thought I had done it wrong because it
didn't look like a proper mixture and the amount of ingredients I was using
looked a bit too much. I’m so used to making cakes that this was a little
challenge for me.
The ingredients for banana bread:
- 285g/10oz plain flour
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 110g/4oz butter, plus extra for greasing
- 225g/8oz caster sugar
- 2 free-range eggs
- 4 ripe bananas, mashed
- 85ml/3fl oz buttermilk (or normal milk mixed with 1½ tsp lemon juice or vinegar)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Here is the step by step method for Banana Bread:
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
- Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, mashed bananas, buttermilk and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture and mix well. Fold in the flour mixture.
- Grease a 20cm x 12.5cm/8in x 5in loaf tin and pour the cake mixture into the tin.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for about an hour, or until well-risen and golden-brown.
- Remove from the oven and cool in the tin for a few minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
I found this recipe on the BBC Food website which is such a
useful site as they display all kinds of different recipes for any occasion.
