BANANA BREAD CAKE

This is without doubt, one of my favourite sweet cakes to go with a coffee.  Its moist and yummy and, not too heavy and easy to make.  It's a great treat to whip up for afternoon tea or to bring when visiting.

I use cup measures in this.  You can pick up a cup measure jug anywhere and find it very handy when baking.  Especially if you find a recipe online and are following it by cup measure.
Here's how i make mine:
1. Cream together 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup of sugar.
2. Add 2 beaten eggs and 4 mashed bananas.  Combine well.
3. In a large bowl, sieve together 1 1/2 cups plain flour; 1tsp baking powder and 1/2tsp salt.
4. Add 1/2tsp vanilla extract and combine well for a minute or two.
5. To this i folded in chopped walnuts but you could add in whatever you fancy here if you like.
6. Pour into greased and lined tin of choice. Bake 175degrees for 1 hour.  Check by inserting skewer in. If it comes out clean, your cake is done!
7. When cooled i poured over a mix of a little water and icing sugar just to give a little sweet texture glaze.
DELICIOUS!
