    Raspberry Banana Bread is a variation of an old favourite. My sister in Australia is a fabulous cook and  on a recent trip she made some of the best desserts ever so I brought home some recipes to try. This dessert cake is super easy to make and bake and is a sweet, moist cake to serve to the most discerning of people with the raspberries adding a delightful taste to traditional Banana Bread. The cake froze well for later use and was just as moist & delicious as freshly baked. Here is my sister's recipe for Raspberry Banana Bread. Well worth a try!

    Raspberry Banana Bread Ingredients:

    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
    • 1 ½ cups mashed banana
    • 125 grams fresh or frozen raspberries (approx 4.5 oz)

    Directions:

    2. Gradually add eggs and beat well until pale and creamy
    3. Sift the flour baking powder and soda adding vanilla
    4. Fold the flour mixture into the mixture
    5. Add banana & raspberries and gently stir to mix

    Notes:

    •  Use very ripe bananas for this recipe as it adds to the flavour & moisture
    • Hint: When your home-grown chemical-free raspberries are available freeze a few 125 gram (4 to 5 oz) bags of fresh raspberries for this recipe
    • Original recipe source unknown

    It is always fun to try new recipes and more so when they turn out so successfully.  Our official  taste testers included 3 young teenagers, their parents and grandparents who stayed with us recently and  all the home baking was a big hit. A great success for sure and now on my "favourite" recipe list!  Thanks Sis!

    PS: Twice as good second time baked!
