Method
step 1
Take a large bowl.Peel and mash the bananas. Slowly fold in the castor sugar while continuously stirring it into the mashed banana mixture.step 2
Break the eggs and add into the mixture, one by one, stirring continuously. Whisk the mixture until the eggs are mixed in smoothly.step 3
Add the baking soda.step 4
Add the butter into the mixture. Mix well. Remember to use soft butter so it folds well and results in a smooth mixture.step 5
Add the wheat flour slowly little by little, constantly stirring the batter.step 6
Line the dish you want to use to bake your cake with butter. You could also use butter paper. Pour the batter into a baking friendly cake dish/ loaf pan directly or on the butter paper lined dish.step 7
Add walnuts, chocolates chips and golden syrup. Stir the mixture.step 8
Place in an oven or microwave (convection setting) at 180 degrees C for 55 minutes. After 55 minutes insert a fork straight into the cake/loaf and see if it comes out smoothly. You could also look at the color of your cake to decide if it needs to stay inside for a little while longer)step 9
Tip: If you like your loaf/cake to be a golden brown stick to 55 minutes. If you like it like I do, moist on the inside and dark brown and mildly crusty on the outside, 60 minutes is what I’d suggest.step 10
