Ingredients
125g butter, soft
130g brown sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
400g ripe banana, mashed with a fork
3 eggs
1/4 cup milk
300g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 pinches salt
200g cashews, lightly toasted and roughly chopped
Method
Pre-heat oven to 180C. Grease and lightly flour a 27cm x 12cm x 6cm loaf tin. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add banana and combine. Add eggs one at a time, followed by milk, and stir until combined. Fold through remaining dry ingredients and spoon into tin.
Sprinkle the top with brown sugar. Bake for 1 hour or until risen in the middle and a skewer comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing to a cooling rack. Serve with whipped butter. (To make whipped butter, whisk very soft butter with an equal weight of icing sugar until light and fluffy.)
