I am just as confused as Zurin on how to differentiate between a banana cake and a banana bread. Since I got a whole bunch of bananas in the fridge and thanks to her, I decided to give her recipe a try. Oh, Boy! I'm not disappointed. It's moist with just the right amount of sweetness. Need I say more ..... Go and give it a try..... here's the recipe.....

I decided to throw in some choc bits as well.....

STARBUCKS BANANA WALNUT BREAD

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon bicarbonate soda

1 egg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1-1 1/8 cup sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 tablespoon buttermilk

1 orange zest

1 cup mashed banana

juice from 1/2 orange

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

some rolled oats for topping (I didn't use)

1/3 cup chopped walnuts

~ Grease and flour a loaf tin measuring 9" x 5" x 3". Preheat oven 350 F.

~ Whisk together the flour, bicarbonate soda and salt, keep aside.

~ In another bowl beat egg, sugar and oil until pale and well combined.

~ Add sifted ingredients to the egg/oil mixture, adding buttermilk as you go along then

the mashed bananas.

~ Add in the 1/2 cup of walnuts and give it a good stir.

~ Pour batter into the prepared loaf tin. Level out and scatter1/3 chopped walnuts and then

some rolled oats over the top and bake for 50 - 60 minutes or until skewer inserted in the

centre comes out clean.

~ If the top gets too brown before its done, cover it with a piece of foil.
