Banana, Honey and Sultana Loaf Cake
(Makes 10-12 slices)

Ingredients

  • 115g margarine
  • 115g light soft brown sugar (trust me, it’s worth buying a bag as you’ll want to make more of this cake!)
  • 2 tbsp runny honey
  • 2 eggs
  • 225g self raising flour
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg or cinnamon (if you have it - adds beautifully to the taste if you have!)
  • A good handful of sultanas
  • 2 ripe bananas

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C / Gas Mark 4.
  2. Lightly grease and line a (roughly) 20cm long loaf tin. Alternatively pop a cake tin liner in the tin.
  3. Beat together the margarine, sugar and honey. Then beat in the eggs.
  4. Fold in the flour and nutmeg/cinnamon.
  5. Stir in the sultanas so that they are evenly distributed.
  6. Peel and mash the bananas then fold them into the mixture.

8. Cool for 5 minutes or so in the tin, then turn out onto a cooling rack. Serve warm or cold in slices: it’s lovely warm with cream or ice-cream. Enjoy!

Alternative suggestions:

If you’re not keen on sultanas you could leave them out, or replace with an alternative dried fruit or something like glazed cherries.

You could also replace the honey for golden syrup if you’re not a honey fan.
