This could be thought of as a moist banana cake, easy to make and uses up overipe bananas.

Put the mixture into a greased and lined load tin (about 1.2 liter). Bake in the middle of a preheated oven at 160°C (325 °F) for 1 1/4 hours, or until risen and not sticky in the middle when tested with a fork.
