Notes
- Make sure you use a non-stick loaf tin for this bread, and that you grease it well either with butter or oil before adding the flour, and the cake should be very easy to remove from the tin once it's baked. Additionally, you can use non-stick baking paper too.
- Unripe bananas do not work in this recipe, nor in any other recipes that call for bananas instead of refined sugar - it's the ripe sweet bananas that have the right texture and sweetness to make the cake stand out.
