Banana Bread

Don't know why we call it bread when it's clearly a cake, but this is a classic way to use up over-ripe bananas.
Ingredients
225g caster sugar
2 ripe bananas, mashed
115g butter, softened
60ml milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs, beaten
240g self raising flour
1/2 tsp salt
* heat oven to 180C and grease a loaf tin
* put the first 6 ingredients into a large bowl and beat thoroughly until well combined
* stir in the flour and salt
* pour the batter into the loaf tin and bake for 50-60 minutes
* allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes then turn out onto a wire rack
Chopped nuts or chocolate chips are a nice addition.
