Recipe By Nicole Horvath
Ingredients
Banana Ingredients
2 cups plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp bicarbonate soda
125 g unsalted butter, soft at room temperature
⅓ cup caster sugar
⅓ cup brown sugar
2 free range eggs
3 ripe bananas, mashed
pulp from 3 passionfruit
Cream Cheese Icing Ingredients
125 g cream cheese, soft at room temperature
50 g unsalted butter, soft at room temperature
½ cup icing sugar mixture
1 tsp vanilla extract
pulp from 2 - 3 passion fruits, optional
Method
Preheat an oven to 160 degrees (C), on the fan forced setting.
Spray a loaf pan with oil and line with baking paper.
In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and bicarb soda. Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or an electric handheld mixer, beat together the butter, caster sugar and brown sugar for 3 - 4 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add the mashed banana and passionfruit pulp and mix until combined.
Fold in the flour mixture until just combined.
Pour mixture into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely
To make the icing, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth and combined. Add the icing sugar mixture and vanilla and beat for 2 minutes. Spread over the cooled loaf. Top with extra passionfruit pulp if desired.
Enjoy!
