banana bread

I had some manky bananas left and there was no way I was going to eat them.  I mean REALLY manky.  They were black on the outside and their bananary smell greeted me every time I went into the kitchen.  It was even beginning to seep into the living room so I knew it was time to use them up or bin them.  So, banana bread...

100g stork cake marg
175g caster sugar
2 eggs
3 manky bananas
225g self raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp milk
1 tbsp cinnamon (maybe even a bit more)
some demerara sugar

Cream the margarine and sugar together.  Mash the bananas in a separate bowl and then combine with the marg and sugar.  I actually mashed the bananas first then adde the marg and sugar which made it much more difficult to combine everything so to hell with the washing up...use that extra bowl.

Beat in the eggs one by one them the flour, baking powder and cinnamon.  Add the milk and tip into a prepared loaf 2lb loaf tin.  I like to line and grease the tin.  Sprinkle with the dememera sugar to give a bit of a crunchy top and bake at 180c for about an hour until done.

Allow to cool, well at least try, and munch with a nice cup of tea.

Unfortunately this all got eaten before I managed to take a picture.
