Mini Egg Banana Loaf Cake Recipe!

Hello lovelies,

Hi, hello, welcome back and a Happy New Year to you all.

Well… that was a longer break than I intended. I had planned to take January off as I have the last couple of years to re-inspire myself but my chronic illnesses had other plans. With my bowel condition worsening, I had no choice but take February off too and I can only apologies for that.

But, I’m finally back and seen as it’s March, I wanted to jump straight into the Easter content. I didn’t get a chance to share any Easter bakes last year due to two prolapsed discs so to make up for it, I’m sharing as much as I possibly can with you this year!

Starting strong with this ‘Mini Egg Banana Loaf Cake’ which has very quickly become a firm favourite of mine and my loved ones.

I love me a slice of a warm, simple banana loaf that’s crammed with chocolate chips. I honestly didn’t think it could get much better but add mini eggs to the equation and you get a slice of something that’s nothing short of perfection. chef’s kiss.

It’s a bunch of simple ingredients that when put together create the most incredible flavour bomb on the taste buds. It doesn’t get much better than this, I can promise you that!

So, if this banana loaf has caught your attention and got you wanting to recreate yourself, you know the drill by now. Keep on scrolling below and you’ll find today’s recipe.

How To Make The Loaf Cake:

• Firstly, gather together your equipment and ingredients, line a 2lb loaf tin with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 180C / 160C Fan / Gas Mark 4.
• Secondly, in a large bowl, beat together the 140g of unsalted butter with the 140g of golden caster sugar until light and fluffy.
• Next, one at a time, beat in the 2 large eggs and 2tsp of vanilla bean paste until combined.
• Now, fold through the 140g of self-raising flour, 1tsp of baking powder, the 4 mashed bananas, the 150g of milk chocolate chips and 200g of crushed mini eggs until everything is combined.
• Evenly pour the loaf cake mixture into the lined loaf tin and place into the oven to bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
• Once baked, allow to cool completely in the tin before carefully removing from the tin onto a wire rack.

How To Decorate:

• Now that the loaf cake has been removed from the tin and is fully cooled, it’s time to decorate.
• In a microwavable bowl, add the 100g of milk chocolate, place into the microwave and in 10 second blasts, blast the chocolate until fully melted.
• Once melted, pour the melted chocolate into a small piping bag. Snip the very tip of the piping bag off and drizzle the melted chocolate generously across the top of the loaf cake.
• Sprinkle the 100g of crushed mini eggs across the top of the loaf cake.
• Finally, allow the chocolate to set at room temperature before serving.

That’s your Mini Egg Loaf Cake prepared, baked and decorated, ready for you to enjoy this Easter.

Notes:

• Store in an airtight container, at room temperature for up to 5 days.
• You can also put the loaf cake into the fridge if you’d prefer. However, I would recommend removing from the fridge up to 1 hour before serving to allow the cake to come to room temperature.
• If half way through baking you find the loaf is browning too much / too quickly, place a piece of tin foil over the loaf cake and continue baking.
• This is the loaf tin i used: https://direct.asda.com/george/home/ovenware-bakeware/scoville-neverstick-2lb-loaf-tin/
• You can use any chocolate you prefer to go both in and on top of the loaf cake.
