How to Bake Banana Loaf Cake

1. First start by adding flour, brown sugar, ripe bananas, three eggs, a squeeze of honey, a hint of vanilla essence, a teaspoon of cinnamon, sunflower oil and finally a teaspoon of baking powder all into a mixing bowl.
2. Once all ingredients have been added, it’s time to mix for around 5 minutes using an electric mixture (or a whisk, whichever you have available!)
3. Whilst everything is mixing, add in crushed mixed walnuts to give your banana loaf cake an added crunch.
4. After, you will need to finish mixing by hand to ensure everything is mixed together well and your mixture is a nice smooth consistency.
5. Now it’s time to grease a loaf tin using butter. Then pour the mixture into the tin and it’s time to bake!
6. Your bake time is approx. 40 mins (or until golden brown). The oven should be heated to around 180°C.
7. Bake the cake until it’s nice and golden brown.

Enjoy!
