MOIST BANANA AND WALNUT POUND LOAF CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 180c, 350F. Grease and line your baking tin Chop walnuts. I like my walnuts roughly chopped for added texture, but it is up to you if you'd like to finely chop them. 2. Use a potato masher or fork and mash the bananas. 3. Mix together the seived flour, salt, bicarbonate soda and baking powder. 4. Cream the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, add the eggs a little at a time with a few tablespoons of the flour (to stop the batter from splitting). 5. Add the bananas and walnuts, combine well. 6. Using a metal spoon, fold in the rest of the flour. 7. Transfer mixture to baking tin and spread evenly taking care to make sure the corners also have batter. 18. Place in the oven for 50 - 55 minutes. Test if ready using a metal skewer. Poke the skewer into the center of the cake mixture. If the skewer comes out clean, the cake's ready!

MOIST & DELICIOUS BANANA NUT BREAD

Steps:

• Cream butter & sugar. Add vanilla & eggs. Combine dry ingredients, add alternately with bananas & milk. Add nuts if desired. Grease & flour 1 bread pan (2-3 smaller pans) or pour into muffin cups. For loaf bake at 350 for 45-60 minute Muffins 350 for 20-25min. Enjoy!
• *Note- I usually use a smaller bread pan to make the 2 loaves, or use a larger one and just make 1 big loaf, but it will need to bake longer. I adjusted the time because people had been saying it was over baking, now people are saying it's under baked. I would use the old fashion test of a tooth pick at 45 min, then at 1 hour -- up to 1 hour & 30 min if needed. Hope that helps!
