Yesterday, Nerea announced there was a cake sale at school today. As we had commitments last night, the baking took place first thing this morning. But the buns weren’t decorated when Nerea had to leave. As I had 2 teleconferences this morning, I stopped at home, took a banana cake out of the oven during the first and finished the cupcakes before the second. But the piece-de- resistance was my multi tasking delivery to school. I walked up, carrying a foil wrapped tray while on my second call, mobile phone set to loud speaker and mute to avoid background noise!
Banana and Cherry Loaf
100 g (4 ozs) glace cherries
100 g (4 ozs) softened unsalted butter
100 g (4 ozs) caster sugar
50 g (2 ozs) soft brown sugar
2 medium eggs – beaten
225 g (8 ozs) S.R. Flour
2 ripe bananas – mashed
Preheat oven to 160° C/fan oven 150° C/gas mark 3.
Lightly oil and line the bottom of a loaf tin.
Wash off the syrup, dry and chop the cherries
Cream the butter with the sugars until creamy. Gradually add the egg and the flour. Stir in the chopped cherries and bananas.
Mix to a soft consistency then spoon into the prepared tin.
Bake in the centre of the oven for 90 mins. (Test if cooked by inserting a skewer into the centre – it’s ready if it comes out clean)
Remove from the oven but leave in the tin until it is cool.
When cool tip out onto a wire rack.
