Banana loaf

This is one of those quick recipes that can get you out of a bind when you need to make something "wow" but you don't have the time or you're not in the mood for too much effort.
Take 2 to 3 very ripe (over ripe even better) bananas and mash them in a mixing bowl, using a fork. Next, add in a third of a cup of melted butter and mix through. Now add a teaspoon of baking soda, a pinch of salt, a teaspoon of vanilla extract, a beaten egg as well as a cup of sugar (reduce this if you want the cake to be less sweet). and mix through. You will now have a very runny mixture, to which you will need to add one and a half cups of flour, to give you a thick yet runny batter.
Pour the batter into a bread baking mold and bake in a pre-heated oven at 175°C for about an hour or until a toothpick stuck into the cake comes out clean.
You could easily add in crushed nuts to give the cake an alternate texture and once cooled, pour an icing sugar topping over the cake and allow to set before serving. Enjoy!
