Walnut, and honey cake
This tea time treat uses up leftover bananas well and makes for a beautiful cake.
 

225g self-raising flour

½ tsp ground cinnamon

175g softened butter

100g light muscovado sugar

3 tbsp clear honey

2 eggs, beaten

2 medium, ripe bananas

50g pack walnut pieces

Line the base and long sides of a 900g loaf tin with greaseproof paper, buttering the tin and the paper.

In a large bowl, add the flour, cinnamon, butter, sugar, 2 tablespoons of the honey and the eggs into a large mixing bowl.

Mash the bananas into the bowl.

Beat the mixture for 2-3 minutes, using a wooden spoon or mixer, until well blended.

Spoon the mix into the prepared tin and level the top.

Scatter the walnut pieces over.

Bake for 1 hour, then lightly press the top – it will feel firm if cooked. If not, bake for a further 10 minutes.

Cool for 15 minutes, then lift out of the tin using the paper.

When it is cold, drizzle the remaining honey over and cut into thick slices.
