{has_more=true, offset=30, total=190, results=[{comment_text=Delicious, moist loaf, quite sweet (but this was very welcome to the sweet-toothed menfolk in my family.) Baked 10 minutes longer than the recommended time. Added choc chips and next time I'll add walnuts. Kept very well and stayed moist for 5 days (I made 2 loaves, otherwise it would've all been gone in 2 days!!) I sometimes use a quicker oil-based, no-egg recipe, but that usually dries out after a couple of days. This requires a little more effort (I don't have a mixer, so creaming the butter and sugar can be a bit of a task) but the end result is worth it for sure.

Method

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.
