Are you feelin' lucky, punk?

'Cos today's your lucky day! I've decided to blog about one of my absolute favourite recipes...

Mmm... raspberry and banana bread...

Or is it banananananananana? ;) Ba-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na! Make those bodies sing! Woot! *dances*

Della's Famous Raspberry and Banana Bread

Two cups of plain flour
Two teaspoons baking soda
One cup of sugar
Two eggs, slightly beaten
Two ripe, mooshy bananas, peeled (natch) and mashed up
150 g soft butter
Couple of teaspoons ground cinnamon/nutmeg
However many raspberries you so desire to throw in (use frozen ones, because to use fresh raspberries for anything other than eating as they are is sacrilege!)

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and butter up a loaf or cake tin. Put all of the ingredients EXCEPT FOR THE RASPBERRIES!!! *ahem* in a bowl and mix them together. When combined, add the raspberries and fold them through the mixture gently (if you mix them around too much, your cake will turn a bizarre grey colour (cement-coloured cake = no-no!). Pour the mixture into the tin and spread it around evenly. Cook for 45 minutes or so, or until it's nice and brown and sharp metal objects (skewers, knives, medical equipment) that you use to test the middle of the cake come out cleanly.

Et voila! Nice and easy.
