Packed with fruity flavour, this loaf also tastes great toasted the next day We recently hosted some clients on the farm for a farm tour followed by afternoon tea, and this was one of the things which I served to them. It’s another of my own recipes, and also tastes great the next day toasted and served hot with a little butter. Mmmmm ……..!
Here’s the recipe -:
Spiced Apple & Banana Loaf
5 tbsp Margarine
1 cup brown Sugar
2 Eggs, beaten
2/3 cup Milk
1 ¾ cups Flour
3 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Cinnamon powder
½ tsp Nutmeg powder
1 cup grated Apple (about 2 Apples)
½ cup finely sliced Bananas (about 2 bananas)
Little Lemon Juice (optional)
Cream the margarine & sugar together. Add the beaten eggs and milk. Mix well. Add the sifted flour, baking powder, cinnamon & nutmeg powder and blend well. Stir in the apple & banana (sprinkle a little lemon juice over the fruit first, if you want to prevent browning). Pour into a lightly greased 22 cm x 13 cm loaf tin and bake at Gas Mark 5/190’C/375’F for +- 45 minutes until a knife inserted in the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool before turning out of the pan.
This loaf tastes great served warm with some butter.
