Such a great recipe. I made it with gluten free flour and it worked beautifully. Light and fluffy. It made quite a bit of batter so I got a couple of muffins out of it too. Saving this for the next time I have some ripe bananas.

I love this recipe however I bake it on 160 fan bake for an hour as I found it stops it from burning around the edges. I also make the whole cake in my food processor and comes out great, don't over mix once flour added. Last time I forgot to add the eggs! Still turned out great just did not rise as much, so if allergic to eggs great to know it still works.

Preheat oven to 180°C bake. Grease and line a loaf pan (approximately 22-24cm x 13cm).
Beat butter, Chelsea Caster Sugar and Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar together until pale and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Sift in flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Stir a couple of times to partially mix in.
In a separate smaller bowl, dissolve baking soda in milk. Add to butter mixture with bananas and walnuts, if using. Mix until combined.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool in tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
