Ingredients

  • 155g self-raising flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ ground cinnamon
  • 30g unsalted butter
  • 30ml vegetable oil
  • 40g soft light brown sugar
  • 40g granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 60ml soured cream
  • 50ml milk
  • 1 large overripe banana mashed with a fork

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to gas mark 3/325oF/160oC/140oC fan and line a 1lb loaf tin with baking paper. Set the loaf tin aside. To a bowl, add and combine the self raising flour, salt and ground cinnamon then set aside.
  • In another bowl cream together the butter, vegetable oil and both sugars. Once well combined, add in the egg, vanilla extract, sour cream, milk and mashed banana, mixing between each ingredient. Add in the dry ingredients set aside earlier and combine well.
  • Pour the batter into the loaf tin and bake for 45 minutes on the middle shelf. You can use a cake tester to check if it’s baked through. Place the tin on a cooling rack for 20 minutes then remove the cake from the tin and transfer to the cooling rack to completely cool.
