Notes
Ripeness of bananas: Your bananas need to be very ripe. Please don’t try to make this with green or very firm bananas as it just won’t work in the same way.
Type of tin: A loaf tin that is about 23x13cm / 900g / 2lb.
Ensure it’s cooked: Push a skewer or knife into the middle and check it comes out clean, with no raw cake mixture on it. If it doesn’t, it’s not quite there yet so leave it in for a few more minutes and check again. If the top of your cake is cooked but it’s not inside yet, you can cover it with tin foil to stop it from burning.
