Jaime Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Banana and Pecan Loaf - from BBC website. Its my most favourite Banana recipe - I suppose you could leave out the pecans - But I put in a few more!! It's actually very easy to make and I've never had a poor one. Ingredients 75g/2¾oz plain flour 75g/2¾oz wholemeal flour 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda 1 tsp ground mixed spice 100g/3½oz butter, softened 100g/3½oz caster sugar 2 large bananas, mashed 2 eggs, lightly beaten 100g/3½oz pecan nuts, roughly chopped Method 1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Grease and line a 900g/2lb loaf tin. 2. Sift together the flours, bicarbonate of soda and mixed spice, tipping any bran in the sieve into the bowl. 3. In a large bowl beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the bananas and egg, then stir in the flour mixture along with 75ml/5tbsp boiling water. Stir in the pecan nuts. 4. Spoon the mixture into the tin and smooth out the top. Bake for about 1 hour until risen and golden. Delicious served warm.

Snowy Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Well the banana and chocolate cake was a great hit with the boys today! Great recipe and very easy to make - just chuck it all in and whisk. I cooked it for about an hour though. Came out very light and fluffy inside with a heavenly crispy outer ....... Must go and eat the last piece before the kids decide to have it for breakfast tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
