Banana bread is one of the most simple and delicious cakes around. It doesn't require any outrageous ingredients and is a great way to use up your old bananas instead of throwing them out. 

The ingredients you require are: 

2 overripe bananas
1 and 3/4 cups of self-raising flour
1/4 cup of plain flour
2/3 cup of brown sugar
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon 
1/2 cup of skim milk
2 eggs
50g of softened butter

Step One

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celcius. Line a baking tray with baking paper. 

In a large bowl, sift the flours and the cinnamon. 

Add the sugar. 

Make a well in the middle, and add the eggs, milk and butter. 

On a plate, mash the bananas and add to the bowl. Mix until all ingredients are combined. 

Step Two

Pour the batter into your cake tin and bake for 40-50 minutes or until the top is golden and a skewer comes out clean when inserted in the middle of the cake. 

Turn out onto a cooling rack and serve once it's cool to touch.

Note: You can also add other ingredients to this recipe such as walnuts, dates or pumpkin seeds if you have them on hand.
