Ingredients

• 150 g plain flour
• 80 g sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 100 g butter
• 3 bananas, ideally very ripe
• 1 sachet of vanilla sugar or 10 g homemade vanilla sugar
• 1 tbsp rum or homemade vanilla extract
• 1 Bourbon vanilla pod

Directions

1. Mix the sugar, vanilla sugar and eggs in a bowl.
2. Add the melted butter, then the flour and baking powder.
3. Cut the bananas into small pieces – or mash them if you prefer – and fold them into the batter.
4. Split the vanilla pod lengthways, scrape out the seeds with a knife and stir them into the batter.
5. Add the homemade vanilla extract.
6. Grease a loaf tin – or line it with baking paper, and save yourself the mess. Pour in the batter and bake at 180 °C for 30 minutes.Check with a skewer. If the cake isn't cooked through, give it another ten minutes at 160 °C.
7. Ready! Enjoy!
