Step 1

Preheat to 180°C, fan 160°C. Grease a roughly 900 g-capacity loaf tin, line the base with baking paper and grease the paper.

Step 2

Mix butter, sugar and egg. Gradually mix in flour and baking powder. Stir in mashed bananas, walnuts and the listed 50 ml milk. The saved method does not specify when to add the milk; this adds it with the other wet ingredients.

Step 3

Pour into the tin and bake for about 1 hour until a skewer comes out clean. Cool on a rack before removing from the tin.

Step 4

Optional saved chocolate sauce: melt chocolate with 1 tbsp butter over simmering water. Warm double cream and 75 ml milk, pour over chocolate and stir together. Serve warm over thick cake slices, with vanilla ice cream if desired.
