Banana Butter Cashew Bread

When I was younger I remember eating banana bread from Shangri-La Hotel's bakery and it was delicious! It had that distinct taste of molasses and had a chewy crust. Inside, the bread had a nice texture and was moist and you can really taste the bananas. I loved it and always thought about making it. Well, I didn't quite make the same exact banana bread. Here's something I made today which I am sure will tickle your tongues and put a smile on your face! The smell, the taste and the texture is delightful!

Banana Butter Cashew Bread

The Ingredients:

• 4 medium ripe bananas
• half a slab of butter
• 1 tbsp milk
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 tsp baking soda
• salt
• 1 1/2 cup flour (do not use self-raising flour)
• chopped raw cashew nuts

The Procedure:

Mash the bananas in a large bowl and mix in the milk and butter. Once it's all mixed, beat the egg and pour it in along with the sugar and the vanilla. Now mix in the baking soda and the salt. Lastly, put in the flour. Mix thoroughly and pour into your greased loaf pan which is usually a 4x8 size pan. While waiting for it to settle, pre-heat your oven to 200C. Now top the mixture with cashew nuts and throw in the oven for 40 minutes. Stick a knife in it when you check. If the knife doesn't come out clean, leave it in for a few more minutes.
