Elevensestime

    I've recently discovered the very friendly and (virtually) delicious 'Elevensestime' tweets on Twitter, so here's my contribution today, in real time and in pictures.

    This is Banana Cake from The Thrifty Cookbook by Kate Colquhoun, the perfect use for a couple of over-ripe bananas. As the author says, "this is a failsafe sweet and sticky loaf cake made in a bowl with a fork and no sophistication whatsoever", and she's right! Harriet mixed up a batch last night, and I can see a repeat performance happening today as it's utterly fuss-free and very good.

It may look plain but it's actually very tasty, and for variation Kate Colquhoun suggests adding some chocolate chunks, or ground mixed spice, or cinnamon with chopped walnuts or pecans.

    I'm off to have another slice with my coffee. Enjoy your elevenses, whatever you're having.
