Calories: 1429kcal
Ingredients
- 125 gram/1/2 cup butter melted
- 3 large very ripe bananas 1&1/2 cups mashed
- 2 tbsp plain yogurt (optional)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tspn vanilla essence
- 1/2 tspn ground cinnamon
- 2 cups/500ml cake wheat flour
- 1 tspn bicarbonate of soda
- 1/2 cup/125ml brown sugar
- 1/2 cup/125ml granulated white sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 deg Celsius. Grease a loaf pan well with some soft butter and line the bottom of the pan with some parchment paper and set aside
- Mash the bananas with a fork and mix in the yogurt. Mix in the melted butter, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla essence using a fork. Mix in the eggs
- Sift in the cake wheat flour and bicarbonate of soda, gently mix until combined. Do not over mix
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for +-1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If cake is browning too soon you can cover it with a piece of foil
- Once removed from the oven allow it to cool for a few minutes. Turn onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before cutting
Notes
- You can add chocolate chips or some nuts to the batter
- I added the yogurt to create a bit more moisture to the cake but honestly it's good without it too
- I used bicarbonate of soda and no baking powder at all
- Ensure that your bananas are over ripe to get the maximum sweetness
