Crunchy Orange syrup loaves

On Saturday afternoon, I was about to make a banana loaf with some rather over ripe bananas - having made all the other banana recipes in the book apart from banoffee pie-  when I spotted this recipe on the opposite page. I decided that it would be better to bake something new rather than make the banana loaf again, so the kids ended up having a smoothie instead.
This recipe says to make two 1lb loaves, but I only own one 1lb tin, so I made a 21b one instead, and just baked it for longer than it said.
Mary says that these loaves "may not look madly exciting, but they are very popular and delicious". Well, not in our house. The trouble is that I think we are now getting spoiled, and have become more fussy about our cakes. This only scored 7.0, and most of it got eaten by Tom. He finished it off in his lunch box today - he's not complaining!
