Chocolate Banana Bread

Hello friends,

So with all good intentions I buy bananas and try to have one a day. Sometimes however I work long hours away from home and the fruit sits there getting soft. Now I like my bananas at the pre-brown spot stage, so when I realised this weekend that I had five very soft bananas what pops into my head - BANANA BREAD!!!

I like banana bread a lot, it is very moist and moreish, and the last one I baked was a healthy version. This is the opposite as it is full of butter sugar and chocolate, yum!

Ingredients:

110g butter softened
120g caster sugar
80g milk chocolate melted
2 eggs
120g self raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 mashed bananas

Method:

Preheat your oven to 180C/ 160C and line a loaf tin with parchment.

In a bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy then add in the two eggs. Beat with a wooden spoon and pour in the melted chocolate. Mix well and add the rests of the dry ingredients, folding them in making sure everything is incorporated.

Make sure the bananas are good and mashed and then add into the chocolate mix. At this point, you could throw in some extra chocolate chips if you want to be moreish, but I am leaving it at this.

Pour into the tin and bake for 50 minutes. Check that a skewer comes out clean when tested.

Allow to cool before slicing open and enjoying :)

Pasteils de nata - custard tarts

Pastry week on the Great British Bake Off saw Paull Hollywood set custard tarts as the technical challenge and I thought I would give them a go, seeing as I have never attempted them before! I own Paul's cookbook which has the recipe in, and it can also be found on the GBBO website. These two recipes vary slightly - in the book Paul doesn't make the rough puff pastry but uses shop bought (which I would normally do.) This being a Bake Off challenge though I decided to use the recipe they followed in the tent. The result - delicious buttery pastry filled with golden creamy custard. I ate 3 in one sitting! The tarts are quite fiddly and leaving the pastry to cool between rolling is essential to get the decent lamination and signature swirl on the bottom, so you will need to set aside a good couple of hours in total. As a side note, I found that I had a lot of left over custard - either I didn't make my tarts big enough or the recipe is rather generous with the por...

After Eight minis by Fantasy Cakes

Father Christmas clearly knows me well, as under the tree I had a new cake recipe book waiting; Fantasy Cakes by Angela Romeo and it is such a treat for the eyes to browse, and stomach for the wonderful cakes you could bake. It is a very clever book in that it has the standard cake recipes at the start which are used throughout the book. These so far have been so simple to throw together, which is very handy as I can leave the baby playing for 10 minutes to whip the cake up. You can order the book here , and I highly recommend it if you want to try some beautiful centre pieces or show stoppers. The first cake I tried is the After Eight minis, great as all the family were round to gobble up the end result. This After Eight recipe took a while to assemble and create the individual elements however they can all be done in advance and individually rather than sitting down for a good couple of hours stretch. I had to alter the recipe slightly as I ran out of self raising fl...

BBC Good Food Caramel Brownies

Another get together with friends has prompted some more baking (whilst the baby is sleeping) and the salted caramel cover recipe from a BBC Good Food issue from a while back caught my eye. I have been storing this recipe waiting for a good excuse to bake it, and I can say (after scoffing a few), these brownies do not disappoint and will be made again. Brownies are very easy to make, the one stumbling point I often find is the temperature of the oven and the time they are baked for - as ovens vary vastly this is quite hard to write into a recipe, but I have a fan assisted fairly new over which bakes quite hot. They key for baking the brownies is checking after the stated time, and they should still be a little liquid in the middle if you want moist squishy squares. Leaving them to cool completely in the tin is also an essential, as if they are cut too early they may still be too liquid. Time to make batter - around 15 minutes Baking time - 35 minutes depending on your oven I...
