Real banana bread

OK, so I have been playing around a lot with the "healthy" versions of cake recipes, so far 50% turned out well and then other half terrible. So I decided for a brunch to just go with real sugar, butter etc to make a proper banana bread, only of course I had to use spelt (dinkel) flour instead of regular....


1 loaf:

3 eggs
2dl unbleached sugar
3 dl spelt flour
1 dl nuts (roasted and non-roasted hazelnuts, walnuts) - i suggest adding more, as I felt the finished bread lacked nuts
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cardammon
1 tsp salt
3 tsp baking powder
3,5 very brown bananas
50 gram melted cooled butter
1 tbsp oil (not olive oil)

1) Put on oven on to 175 C.
2) begin by wisking the eggs and sugar stiff & white.
3) place all dry ingredients into a bowl and mix
4) mash the bananas
5) Add the mashed bananas to the eggs&suygar - mix
6) slowly add the dry ingred to the eggs & banana sugar - mix.
7) add the melted (cooled) butter and oil - mix.
8) place the mix into a bread form either buttered and dusted with flour to stop the cake sticking to the edges. I prefer to use baking paper in the form, less dish work....

Place the cake into the middle of the oven and allow to cook for about 1 hour.

Hope you like!

  2. I remember the first twenty loaves of bread I made, back in 1958 when I wanted to learn to make bread. They were awful—heavy, thick, knife-resistant. If we had dropped them on the Soviet Union, the Cold War would have been over earlier. But then I figure what made a proper dough, and everything changed. My bread was suddenly light and delicious. The only problem was that it was so good when it was warm, particularly with lots of butter!
