I even took a couple of pictures to send to my mum just to proof to her that I actually made it. it was the best feeling and I'd do it again next time when I have time. it tasted really good when it fist came out of the oven, so I had to hold myself back from finishing and stored the left over in the fridge.

I took the advice here to use 160 and 1Hr and 20. Still underdone. Gave it another 10 and still not setting properly. Seems to have sunk yet the outside is a nice caramelised colour. Only thing I can think of is too much banana as the the proportions don't seem that out of balance. Maybe someone can give a banana weight measurement versus volume., approved=true, user_name=Steve, hs_createdate=1702249878746, rating_new__1_5_=3, id=11174084894}, {comment_text=Pretty good, I omitted the baking soda, walnuts and caster sugar the first time and tried cooking it in the air fryer which went surprisingly well. This time I doubled the recipe, still left out the Baking Powder, caster sugar and walnuts but added 1/2 - 3/4 cup sour cream just because I had some in the fridge to use up and some coffee essence then cooked in the oven. Turned out great! I just had a large slice with fresh cream poured over....., approved=true, user_name=Karen Camp, hs_createdate=1702249878686, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11174084892}, {comment_text=First time I've made a banana loaf and it was a great success.

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.
