Ingredients: 

2 cups plain (all purpose) flour
1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 egg
5 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup (125g) butter or margarine
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)


 Method: 

1) Preheat oven to 175 degrees C or 350 degrees F.
2) Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
3) In a separate large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter (or margarine)
4) Beat the egg slightly and mix into the creamed mixture along with the bananas.
5) Hand mix in the sifted dry ingredients and milk alternatively in around 3 intervals, starting with the dry.
6) Put the mixture into a greased and floured (or line with baking paper) 9”x5” loaf pan.
7) Bake at 175 degrees C (or 350 degrees F) until the top is brown and cracks on top, or a skewer when inserted comes out clean. *Mine took 52 minutes.

NOTE: *Reason for hand mixing is due to the fact that the mixture is relatively thick and sticky, and hand mixing it with some patience prevents you from over-mixing the batter and making the cake tough.
