Jules Banana & Walnut Cake

I hate seeing bananas go to waste and we had four - all going black (how does this happen so quickly?!). I actually don't like banana bread. I find it a bit 'chewy' if you get what I mean. I wanted a light cake. So I made one. Its very easy too.

Ingredients:

4 (overripe) bananas
8oz self raising flour
3oz caster sugar
2 eggs
4oz butter (room temperature)
approx. 100g walnuts (chop most and leave some whole for decoration)

Method:

Set the oven to 180 C.Cream the butter and sugar together and then add the eggs. Mix well. Mash 3 of the bananas in a separate bowl and tip into the butter mix. Combine. Now add the flour and walnuts. Stir well.

Pile into a greaseproof paper lined loaf tin. Slice the last banana and decorate the top of the cake with the banana slices and whole walnuts. Pop into the oven for about 45 minutes, or until golden, risen and cooked through.

Enjoy!
