Banana Loaf

Banana Loaf

Its banana time again. Maybe it is a totally personal choice but I love the taste of bananas in my cakes. Also pineapple..but that recipe will come later. 

The original recipe called for raisins and rum and it just so happened that I was out of both. so i used tutti frutti and Coffee liqueur..sounds interesting right!! And it tasted very nice too. The combination of bananas and coffee really worked. 

The Banana Loaf is really easy to make and quite delightful to eat. A definite must try!!
