Brilliant Banana Loaf

There is nothing my kids love more than banana bread and this Brilliant Banana Loaf is their favorite cake. This recipe is like a cross between banana bread and a drizzle cake. It is a great recipe to make when you have a lot of overripe bananas in your fruit bowl. It is sweet and rich and delicious!

It couldn’t be easier to make this loaf. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add beaten egg and fold in the flour, baking powder and 2 mashed bananas. Bake in the preheated oven and cool on a wire rack. As the cake cools, make a runny icing. Drizzle the icing over the top of the cake and decorate with a handful of banana chips. Enjoy with a cup of coffee.
