Smoked banana

A warming banana loaf recipe, made using the ripest bananas. This deliciously moist loaf cake, best served smoked banana thick slices, is one of Mary Berry’s most popular recipes. This is a lovely, moist loaf, which really doesn’t need to be buttered.

Lightly grease the loaf tin and line it with non-stick baking parchment. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and level the surface. Bake for about one hour, until well risen and golden brown. A fine skewer inserted in the centre of the cake should come out clean. Leave the cake to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then loosen with a small palette knife and turn the cake out. Remove the lining paper and leave on a wire rack to cool completely.
