Ingredients
- 175 g Butter softened
- 100 g Caster Sugar (superfine sugar)
- 75 g Light Brown Sugar
- 3 Eggs large
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- 200 g Self Raising Flour (self rising flour)
- 2 Bananas over-ripe and mashed
- 150 g Blueberries fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°c (160 °fan/ Gas 4/ 350°F) and line a 2lb loaf tin with baking paper. Dust the blueberries in a tablespoon of flour (especially if using frozen) to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake and set aside.
- Cream together the butter and sugars with a wooden spoon until pale and fluffy.175 g Butter, 100 g Caster Sugar (superfine sugar), 75 g Light Brown Sugar
- Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.3 Eggs, 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- Fold in the flour.200 g Self Raising Flour (self rising flour)
- Stir in the mashed bananas, fresh blueberries and mix gently until combined.2 Bananas, 150 g Blueberries
- Spoon into the loaf tin and bake for 1 hour. Leave to cool in the tin before turning the cake out onto a cooling rack. Because ovens vary, start checking the cake after 50 minutes (use a skewer and see if it comes out clean).
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas with blackened skins for the sweetest flavour and moistest texture.
- Frozen blueberries can be used instead of fresh. Add them straight from the freezer and toss them in a little flour before mixing into the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a dense loaf.
- Test for doneness with a skewer inserted into the centre of the loaf. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
