Easy Loaf Cake!

I've had an old Family Circle Fabulous Fast Cakes book that has one favourite Banana Spice loaf recipe that gets used everytime bananas are going squashy in the fridge, so I decided to try mixing it up a bit this week!

I peeled and chopped two red apples, and added them to the Thermo bowl with 125g chopped butter, 120g sugar, 230g of self raising flour, 1 tsp cinnamon and 1 tsp baking powder. Pulse on turbo until the mixture is quite crumbly looking but stop if it starts to combine and get doughy. Add 2 whole eggs (I used a goose egg today!), 1/3 cup yoghurt and 1 tsp vanilla essence and mix for 10 secs speed 6. Scrape sides and mix again 5 secs speed 6. Add 1/2 cup frozen blueberries and mix reverse speed 4 for 5 seconds again to combine.

Pour into a paper lined loaf tin and bake at 170 for 50-60 mins and test with a skewer to ensure the centre is cooked. Cool in the tin for 10 mins then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

As usual I put it to the kid test, and Jack pronounced it the best cake ever!

Earlier in the week I made a version with carrot, banana and sultana- the banana was frozen so i pulsed it with the butter but if you have fresh banana I'd add it with the eggs and yoghurt.

I'm going to try zucchini, raisin and walnut next.... Yum
