overripe

A cross between banana bread and a drizzle cake, this easy banana loaf recipe is a quick bake that can be frozen. It's great for using up overripe bananas, too.

Brilliant banana loaf

butter,softened,

caster sugar

eggs,beaten

self-raising flour

tsp baking powder

bananas,mashed

icing sugar

banana chips,for decoration

Butter a 2lb <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/baking-equipment">loaf tin</a> and line the base and sides with baking parchment.

<a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/test-five-best-food-processors">Cream</a> 140g softened butter and 140g caster sugar until light and fluffy, then slowly add 2 beaten large eggs with a little of the 140g flour.

Fold in the remaining flour, 1 tsp baking powder and 2 mashed bananas.

Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for about 50 mins, or until cooked through. Check the loaf at 5-min intervals by testing it with a skewer (it should be able to be inserted and removed cleanly), as the time may vary depending on the shape of your loaf tin.

Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then remove to a <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/kimberley-wilsons-top-five-cooling-racks">wire rack</a>.

Mix 50g icing sugar with 2-3 tsp water to make a runny icing.

Drizzle the icing across the top of the cake and decorate with a handful of banana chips.

Moist, tender banana bread muffins finished with an easy cinnamon praline crumb topping drizzled with simple vanilla cream icing.
