Mary Berry's Baking Bible

Product Information

Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until well risen and the top of the loaves spring back when lightly pressed. Measure the butter and sugars into a medium bowl and beat thoroughly with a hand-held electric mixer or wooden spoon until evenly blended.

Find recipes from Jamie Oliver’s 2023 Channel 4 cookery TV series 5 Ingredient Meals and accompanying cookbook 5 Ingredients Mediterranean. This sticky, moist bake is a wonderful way to use up overripe bananas, spiked with a little nutmeg and lemon zest, and served with extra honey glazed on top. With walnuts, banana and carrot, this moist bake is topped with a vanilla cream cheese icing and adorned with walnut halves – a classic for a reason!

Grease two 20cm (8in) loose-bottomed deep sandwich tins and line the base of each tin with baking parchment. To make the icing, melt the dark chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water.
