Cooking Tips

• Use spotty ripe bananas because they are sweeter and more flavourful.
• It’s a rustic looking cake, so it means to crack.
• Don’t worry if there are lumps in your mashed bananas. Everything will turn out fine.
• Every oven is a little bit different. Check your bread after 40 minutes. It may take a little bit shorter or longer than 45 minutes.
