How to do it
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 10 x 20cm loaf tin.
2. Sift together the cake flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and
salt.
3. Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar.
4. Add one egg at a time to the butter mixture, beating in between each
addition.
5. Add the vanilla extract and beat until mixed through.
6. Add half of the sifted dry ingredients and half of the milk, and mix
lightly. Add the remaining dry ingredients and milk, and mix again.
7. Mix the banana into the batter until smooth and well combined.

oven until golden brown and firm in the centre, about 50 minutes. Leave to cool
before removing from the loaf tin.
