Banana Loaf!

Serves however many, depending on the size of the slice.
Ingredients:

140g Self Raising Flour
140g Unsalted Butter  at room temperature
120g Sugar
50g Raisins
2 Eggs
2 Ripe Banana's
1 Table spoon of Honey
1Teaspoon of Baking Powder
Icing sugar for dusting

Optional:
50g Pecan
50g Chocolate Chips
Method:

Pre Heat the oven to 180ÂșC

Place your butter and sugar in the mixing bowl and cream together, until it is pale and fluffy.

Gradually add in the flour and then the eggs, mix slowly together.

Add your raisins, honey and baking powder into the mixture.

Mash up your two bananas, once done add to your mix.

If you're adding pecans or chocolate chips, add them in now.

Grease your loaf tin and then pour in your mixture.

Before placing in the oven lift your tin a couple of inches up and drop gently onto the surface. Repeat this three times. This gets rid of the air bubbles from the bottom and brings them to the top.

Then bake for 30 to 40 minutes. To check if the cake is ready pierce through the center of the cake. If there is no mixture on the knife, that will mean it's ready.

Make a cup of tea and enjoy!
