Bannana and Nutella loaf cake recipe

Today I saw this amazing looking cake on Pinterest and decided to have a go myself. The recipe is from 'Zoe Bakes'. It was so delicious that it is now almost all gone!

You will need -
2 ripe bananas
250g caster sugar
125g butter
60ml milk
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
375g plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
a pinch of salt
4 tablespoons Nutella

Method - 
Preheat your oven 170c, grease and line a loaf tin. Mix together the butter and sugar in a bowl, then add the egg, milk and vanilla extract.

Combine all of the dry ingredients in a separate bowl then sift them into the milk mixture. Soften the Nutella in the microwave and add half to the cake mixture and stir. Pour your mixture into the lined loaf tin then spread the rest of the Nutella over the top. Pop into the oven for 40-50 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean!

The Nutella on the top goes beautiful and crunchy on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside - amazing!

Friday morning breakfast time

This morning looks cold and autumnal outside, so I decided porridge with honey and banana topping was the only appropriate breakfast. I might even have a sweet little cinnamon roll for brunch because that's totally acceptable if you made them yourself isn't it?!What's your favourite breakfast for cold autumn mornings?
