Loafing around

The second baking session for my brother was possibly one of my best ever. Not blowing my own trumpet or anything. 
It's actually a recipe for a load cake, but shamefully I don't own a loaf tin. Tut, tut. So although my loaf is round and it worked, I suggest you bake it in the proper tin required! 

So second up is: Banana and Peanut Butter Loaf Cake. 



What you'll need:
-A suitable loaf tin!
-2 eggs
-4oz caster sugar
-4oz butter
-4oz self raising flour
-1/2 tsp of baking powder
-3tsp of crunchy peanut butter
-1 ripe banana

The Baking of:
-Pre-heat oven to 170c
-In a large bowl: cream together the butter and sugar, beat in the eggs and slowly fold in the flour and baking powder. In a separate bowl; mash the banana and PB, then fold them into the rest of the batter.
-Pour the mix into a greased tin and whack in the oven for approx. 30-40mins. 

Icing:
As you can see, mine doesn't have one-that wasn't intentional. I was hoping to dust it with some icing sugar or make a simple glacier icing, but I was out of the stuff! 
However, this part is completely up to you. The cake works well as either a proper pudding cake (with icing), or you could have it at lunch, warmed up with a little bit of butter. You make the call!
