Ingredients
 
 

  • 4 ripe bananas
  • 50 g pecan nuts or hazelnuts or walnuts if you prefer
  • 220 g self-raising flour
  • 160 g soft light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 100 g vegan butter / block margarine
  • 125 g dairy-free yoghurt unsweetened - I used soya

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan) / 350°F / Gas Mark 4.  Grease a loaf tin (a 2lb tin is ideal - roughly 21cm x 9cm).
  • Mash 3 of the bananas with a fork until smooth. 
  • Chop the pecan nuts.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, bicarbonate of soda and salt.
  • Melt the vegan butter/block margarine in the microwave or a small saucepan, and stir it into the vegan yoghurt and mashed banana.
  • Add the yoghurt and vegan butter into the dry ingredients, and mix until completely smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into your loaf tin, then peel the remaining banana and slice it in half lengthways. Press the two halves into the cake mix. Cover with foil, leaving room for the cake to expand in the oven.
  • Bake for an hour or until an inserted skewer or knife comes out clean, removing the foil around 10 minutes before the end of cooking time. Leave the cake to cool in the tin.

Notes

This cake is even better after being left overnight in an airtight container, so do make it a day ahead if you can. The moisture works through the cake and the crust softens, so it becomes even more deliciously soft and moist.
If you only have three ripe bananas to use up, just leave off the banana on the top of the cake - it will still be delicious!
