Yield: 8
Cuisine: british
Ingredients: 140 g butter, softened; 140 g caster sugar; 2 large eggs, beaten; 140 g self-raising flour; 1 tsp baking powder; 2 ripe bananas, mashed; 50 g icing sugar; 1 handful dried banana chips

Put ripe bananas to work in a soft, sliceable loaf cake. Makes one loaf (8 slices).

140 g butter, softened
140 g caster sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
140 g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 ripe bananas, mashed
50 g icing sugar
1 handful dried banana chips

Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and grease and line a 2lb loaf tin. Beat the butter and caster sugar until pale, then add the eggs one at a time with a spoonful of the flour each time.
Fold in the rest of the flour, the baking powder and the mashed bananas. Scrape into the tin and bake for about 50 minutes; start checking at 35 minutes, and it is ready when a skewer pushed into the middle comes out clean.
Leave in the tin for 10 minutes, then cool on a wire rack. Stir 2–3 teaspoons of water into the icing sugar, drizzle over the loaf and top with banana chips.
