Easiest ever banana cake

Ingredients

• 3 bananas (medium), very ripe (around 22g peeled weight)
• 3 eggs (large)
• 100g soft light brown sugar
• 150ml sunflower oil
• 275g self-raising flour
• 1 tsp ground mixed spice
• 1 tsp baking powder

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4 and grease and line a 900g/2lb loaf tin with baking parchment or use a loaf tin liner.
2. Peel the bananas and mash with a fork. Tip into a large mixing bowl and add the eggs, sugar and oil. Use a fork or whisk to combine.
3. Add the flour, spice and baking powder and whisk together until thoroughly combined. Pour into the prepared tin. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the cake is well risen and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
4. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Serve warm or cold in slices. Spread with butter if you like.
