- 140g self-raising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 very ripe bananas, mashed

Method
- Heat oven to 180°C/160°C fan. Grease and line a 2lb loaf tin.
- Beat butter and caster sugar until light. Gradually mix in eggs with a little flour.
- Fold in remaining flour, baking powder and banana. Fill the tin.
