Mary Berry's banana bread with honey icing

115 g butter (room temperature)

150 g light muscovado sugar

Large eggs

225 g self-raising flour

baking powder

tbsp. semi-skimmed milk

75 g chopped pecans

g icing sugar

clear honey

pecan halves

Use up overripe bananas to make this sticky toffee banana loaf. It’s even more indulgent with the toffee sauce and nut brittle

Sticky toffee banana bread

soft butter

caster sugar

dark brown soft sugar

eggs

natural yogurt

plain flour

tsp baking powder

pitted dates, chopped (about 10)

pecans

light brown soft sugar

butter

milliliters double cream

pecan or walnuts (or mixed nuts)

banana chips

sea salt flakes

Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Butter and line a 900g loaf tin with a strip of baking parchment.

Beat the butter and both sugars in a bowl for 5 mins with an electric <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/top-five-whisks">whisk</a> until really fluffy. Whisk the eggs, banana and yogurt in a separate bowl until mostly smooth, then whisk this into the butter and sugar mixture. Fold in the flour and baking powder until just combined, then fold in the dates and nuts. Spoon into the tin, smooth over the top and bake for 1 hr-1 hr 15 mins until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins, then lift out using the strip of parchment. You can serve it warm now, or leave to cool completely on a <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/kimberley-wilsons-top-five-cooling-racks">wire rack</a>. Will keep for four days in an airtight container.

Meanwhile, make the toffee sauce. Put the sugar in a heavy-based frying pan and melt over a medium-low heat until light golden brown and liquid &ndash; don&rsquo;t stir, just tilt the pan to melt the sugar. Carefully whisk in the butter until smooth, then pour in the cream slowly and bring to a bubble. Mix until the sauce is smooth and shiny. Pour into a heatproof bowl, cover and leave to cool to room temperature.

For the brittle, put the sugar in a frying pan with 2 tbsp water over a medium heat, stir briefly, then simmer for 10 mins until the caramel turns amber. Don&rsquo;t stir after the initial mix, just tilt the pan to get an even deep golden colour.

Meanwhile, line a <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/kimberley-wilsons-top-5-baking-trays">baking tray</a> with baking parchment. Carefully stir the nuts, banana chips and salt&nbsp;into the caramel, until well coated, then pour onto the tray. Tip the tray (or use a spoon) to make sure the nuts are in a single layer &ndash; or they will be harder to separate later. Leave to cool completely before breaking the brittle into shards.

Stir the toffee sauce to loosen if it&rsquo;s become stiff, or warm for a few seconds in the <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/review/best-microwaves-test">microwave</a> (add a splash more cream if you need to), then drizzle over the cake so it drips down the sides. Top with the shards of brittle. Will keep for two days in an airtight container.

Savour the coconutty flavour of this gorgeous banana bread, which comes from the coconut oil and coconut yogurt. Try a slice toasted for breakfast or brunch with sliced banana

Banana, coconut & cardamom bread

coconut oil

golden caster sugar

tbsp coconut yogurt

cardamom pods

Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Butter a 900g loaf tin and line with a long strip of baking parchment. Melt the coconut oil or butter in a pan or the microwave. Mash the bananas and add the oil or butter, eggs, sugar and yogurt.

Combine the flour, baking powder, crushed cardamom and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Add the wet ingredients and whisk to a smooth batter. Pour into the tin and bake for 1 hr 10 mins until golden and risen. Insert a skewer into the centre of the cake to make sure it&rsquo;s cooked &ndash; it should come out with a few crumbs but no wet cake mixture. If needed, return the cake to the oven for another 5-10 mins, then check again, and keep going until it&rsquo;s cooked. Serve slightly warm. Once cool, keep in a tin for up to five days.

You’ll also need…

Heat the oven to 180C/fan160C/gas 4. Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl, then stir in the melted butter and caster sugar with a wooden spoon until well combined.

Stir in the vanilla extract or cinnamon (or use both if you like), then beat in the eggs. Sift in the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda, then gently fold in, along with the chocolate, if using.

Pour the mixture into the loaf tin, then bake for 45-60 minutes. The cake should be well risen and feel springy to the touch. Check it’s done by poking a skewer into the centre – if it comes out clean it’s ready. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then lift out onto a wire rack to cool.

With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Butter a 23 x 13-cm (9 x 5-inch) loaf pan (a 1.5-litre (6-cup) capacity pan) and line with a strip of parchment paper, letting it hang over both sides.

In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.

In another bowl, combine bananas, coconut milk and lime juice. Set aside.

In a third bowl, cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Add egg and vanilla and beat until smooth. At low speed, add dry ingredients alternately with banana mixture.

Pour into the loaf pan. Bake for about 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.

Let cool on a wire rack before removing from the pan and slicing.

Pour les coéliaques : excellent avec 1 t. de farine de sarrasin et le reste avec de la farine de riz brun. Mais surtout pas de tapioca, le mélange va sentir bizarre, éviter cette farine qui réagit mal avec la poudre à pâte et le bicarbonate de soude.

Excellent! La seule petite chose : il y a beaucoup trop de sucre. Les bananes sucrent ďéjà le tout, il s'agit de goûter au mélange avant d'ajouter du sucre, et d'en ajouter au goût. Si on ne veut pas goûter à un melange où il y a de l'oeuf cru, 1/4 de tasse de sucre fait la job.

Le meilleur pain aux bananes ! Merci Ricardo

Le pire gâteau  que j'ai  mangé.......NON C EST PAS VRAI     SUPER BON ...MERCI    (RICARDO)

Merveilleux!  Une recette gagnante, j'en ai même donner à ma mère pour qu'elle en amène chez elle! !

Probablement la meilleure recette, j'en convient. Croustillant à l'extérieur, moelleux à l'intérieur. Les collègues de travail n'en revenait pas de la qualité de ce gâteau. Ils m'ont tous demandé la recette, que je me suis bien garder de leur révéler :-)

Se pourrait-il que les gens pour qui leur gâteau n'est pas assez cuit n'ont pas mis du lait de coco, mais de l'eau de coco. Les boites de lait de coco restent tellement longtemps sur les tablettes, que la crème de coco monte à la surface et l'eau de coco tombe au fond. Il faut vraiment bien secouer la boite, à défaut, mélanger le tout avec un batteur électrique. Vérifier également la température de votre four, la profondeur de votre moule, bref, il est bien dit "ou jusqu'à ce qu'un cure-dent ressorte sec !

Tout simplement merveilleux ! Un vrai régal à refaire encore et encore! Danger pour la ligne

Hi, my second recipe of yours and I really enjoyed it, thanks for sharing. I just have a couple of questions, my cake rose really well in the oven, it was well cooked (50 mins at 180° fan) but it sort of shrivelled after, sinking, the sides caved in and the bottom was dense. I was wondering if you knew why this was? It still tasted great though! My second question is, in the note above about small bananas, is the 390-450g weight the weight with or without the peel? Thanks so much!

Still going to get castor sugar and the flour, but so far so good, it's very simple, thank you so much, it will be my first time doing it!👌👋

Delicious banana cake! So simple and quick to make and perfect for baking with children. 
It’s the second time I’ve made it. The first time I followed the recipe exactly. This time I added some cinnamon and half an avacado (it needed using up!).

Very easy one bowl mixing. I made 8 mini loafs with choc chips. Kids loved them!

Lovely recipe. I added a touch of cinnamon.

I adapted this. Far too much flour in recipe so halved it. Added some cocoa powder. Delicious results. Thank you.
