Banana Walnut cake

You will need (For 8-9 portions):

• 200g wholemeal flour
• 100g walnuts, chopped
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 40g any unrefined sugar (or less - minimise!)
• 100g butter, softened
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 ripe bananas (bananas should be sweet - they should be the primary source of sweetness in this cake)
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg (optional, but it belongs there!)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees C
2. Mix all the ingredients together. The bananas should ideally be soft enough to get mashed easily with a spoon.
3. Place in a baking tray and bake for 1 hour.
4. Switch the oven off and let the cake be inside for another ten minutes.

Notes

I always recommend all cooked food to be eaten within 6 hours. So, if making for 3-4 people, make only half as much.

This cake will be magical if eaten fresh, but rather sad when left overnight.

This is great for picnics and school lunches.
