Banana Bread (or cake)

A western traditional version of the banana cake, it’s flavourful and comforting. Packed to the brim with bananas and toasted walnuts, it has great texture, yet rose so evenly. I reduced and change to brown sugar only, resulting in even more complex flavours. Recipe (for a 9″ by 5″ loaf tin, adapted from Nigella) 400g…
