Heat oven to 180C if electric or 160C if fan assisted or gas mark 4
Butter a cake tin. I used loaf tin. Spread melted butter around the tin. Then dust with some flour.I have also lined the bottom of the tin with parchment paper
Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy
Add one egg with the butter-sugar mix and beat. Then add another
Add the flour with the mixture little at a time. I added the flour over three folding. Add the cinnamon powder ( this is for a lovely warm aroma)
Mash the ripe banana and add to the egg-butter-sugar-flour mix. Fold the mixture with a spatula and make sure there is no lump and the mixture still has air in it. I used the hand held mixture and gave a quick mixing. But do not over mix as this will make the cake go flat and not rise.
Bake for about 30 mins or until a skewer comes out clean. Mine was done in about 35 mins but I over cooked a little to have a crust over which I like to eat
Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then remove to a wire rack
Serve with tea or/and hot chocolate and witness it to vanish in no time at all
