Method:

Adjust oven rack to one shelf below the middle position and Preheat oven to 180ºC.

Butter loaf pan/s and line base/s with baking paper.

Beat eggs, oil and melted butter on high speed until well blended. Add buttermilk and beat well.

Add vanilla cake mix and use a spatula to fold in by hand until half blended.

Roughly mash bananas with a fork. Use very ripe bananas for maximum flavour.

Fold bananas and nuts through mixture until evenly combined, but don’t over-mix.

Pour mixture into loaf pan/s. Bake until nicely browned (see baking times below).

Turn out and remove baking paper from bottom of pan/s.

Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. The banana flavour develops on standing.

Serve either sliced and buttered or topped with citrus cream.

Citrus cream: Lightly whip cream with salt and spices. Add sugar and whip until firm. Fold through liqueur, orange rind and yoghurt. Cover and chill.
