Banana Bread

directions

1. 1

   preheat the oven to 180°C.

2. 2

   cream the sugar and the butter in a bowl until light and pale. add in one egg and a little flour and mix through, repeat with the other egg and the rest of flour and bread soda until everything is just barely mixed.

3. 3

   peel the bananas and mash them with the back of a fork. add them to the bowl with the vanilla extract and mix in gently, being careful not to overwork the mix.

4. 4

   pour the mix into a well-greased loaf tin and place in the oven at 180°C for approximately 50 mins. you can cover it with tinfoil after 25 mins to stop it browning too much on top if you need to.

5. 5

   insert a metal skewer into the centre of the loaf and if it comes out clean (or reads 93°C inside) the banana bread is ready. remove from the loaf tin and place on a wire rack to cool.
