A tasty Banana and Fudge Loaf

Okay so let us paint the picture…..you have a tin of our meltingly delicous vanilla fudge but you have decided NOT to just eat it all on its own (I know – crazy right!!).  Anyway, in this ludicrous scenario, what would you do with some of the fudge.  Well, why not make a Banana Bread with Fudge!!!!

 

And to help you with that, here is a recipe for one.

 

Banana Fudge Loaf

Ingredients

150g (5oz) salted butter (keep a bit to the side for greasing)
300g (10oz) plain white flour
175g (6oz) muscovado sugar
2 medium or large free-range eggs
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
150ml milk
3 bananas
75g (3oz) of our Meltingly Delicious vanilla fudge
Whipped Cream

 

The Method

 

Step 1.  Turn on the oven to 180ºC (160ºC Fan).  Use a piece of butter to lightly grease the baking tin.

Step 2.  Beat the butter and muscovado sugar until light and fluffy.  Add the eggs and beat the mixture between adding each egg.

Step 3.  Add the flour and bicarbonate of soda, stir in to the mixture and then add the milk gradually until you are left with a smooth mixture.

Step 4.  Mash the bananas and then add into the mixture.

Step 5.  Cut up the vanilla fudge and add into the mixture (be sure to gobble a cheeky extra bit for yourself to celebrate completing stage 5.)

Step 6.  Spoon the mixture into the baking tin and smooth the top of the mixture once it has settled.

Step 7.  Bake for about 30 hour on the middle rack of your oven.  After 30 minutes, remove the loaf from the oven.  Cover with foil and then return to the oven for another 30 mins.

Step 8.  After the loaf has been in the oven for an hour, take it out and let it sit to cool for about 10 mins before you try and take it out of the baking tin.

Step 9.  Once the loaf has cooled you can decorate it with some whipped cream, extra slices of banana and some more small cut pieces of fudge.

Step 10.  Yum yum yum yummmmmmmm!!!!
