Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Brush a 450g loaf tin with a little oil then line with baking parchment.

  • step 2

    Mix the flour, almonds, baking powder, sugar and dates. Beat together the mashed banana and oil, then combine it with the flour mixture. Add the soya milk to loosen the mixture, fold in the walnuts and scrape the mixture into the tin. Bake for 1 hr, covering the top if it starts to look too brown. Insert a skewer into the centre of the cake – it should come out clean. If not, return to the oven and cook for a further 10 mins. Cool for 15 mins before taking it out of the tin.

Not bad, but also nothing terribly special. A little too wet and perhaps a bit too fatty for what it was. I would add a little lemon juice to provide some tang along with grated lemon peel to elevate it a star or two.

It was nonetheless popular with the guests.

I shall correct myself - baking powder needs to be replaced by baking soda if extra acid is used or one is risking an off-flavor. It's good to read Wikipedia sometimes.

question

could I use gluten free flour in this recipe and would I need to adapt if I did?

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes you can use gluten free SR flour - it might just be a little more crumbly. You'll need a gluten free baking powder too. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

Have made several banana bread/cake and this one comes out on top. Delicious.
