This week at Asda I bought a bargain bag of bananas, and guess what, we have not been able to eat them all before they have over ripened. However, this is not a problem, as Mary has another banana loaf for me to try. I felt excited at the prospect of another banana loaf, as the last one was so nice. Unfortunately this one did not turn out so well!
Everything was going smoothly - I had cooked it for 1hour, 10mins and done the skewer test. I took it out of the oven, and left it to cool. While I was not looking, it went from nicely risen, to sunk in the middle!!
I am not sure why this has happened, but I have taken comfort from the fact that, on the other blog that I have found called "rising to the berry", the lady also had exactly the same problem! Don't worry, if you do look at her blog, I am not planning to write a book! I'm not sure if I put too much honey in it. Having said that, it doesn't have a soggy bottom, and we all know how important that is in a cake!
It is very moist, bananary and honeyee (not a word, I know), but not my favourite so far.
Our next door neighbour has just popped round to pick up a parcel, so I have given him a slice as he was happy to try some. I know he will let me have his honest opinion!!!
I am only giving it 6.5. Not sure what the kids will think.
I might put a picture of the loaf when I next upload my photos, but to be honest, its not pretty!
What to do with the two remaining over ripe bananas - smoothie anyone?!Well, here is the picture - as you can see, it was not my finest hour!
They could be fruit friends Miranda style, although they would look a little bruised and battered! I know you must have some googly eyes in the house;)
