I may have neglected to mention that I've moved into the wonderful little creative hub that is the Drawn in Bristol illustration studio in Stokes Croft (pictures to follow, as soon as I can find room in my bag for my camera!), nestled inside Hamilton House (a big melting-pot inhabited by lots of talented and creative artists, designers, musicians and filmmakers).
One of the lovely ladies on my floor initiated a Bake Day as incentive for her to leave the house and do some work on a Friday. Well, today the oven gloves were passed over to me, so I thought I'd share a recipe with you (I may have had a helping hand from the Asda mag).
1) Preheat the oven to 170 degrees celsius (I couldn't find the little circular symbol).
2) Beat the eggs and sugar together with an electric whisk for around five minutes, or until the mixture has a thick but light consistency.
3) Mix in the mashed bananas (I used a mixture of slightly spotty, overly-ripe bananas and just-right bananas so that the loaf was flavoursome, but not too over-powering), milk, honey and vanilla extract.
4) Sift in the flour*, cinnamon, ground ginger and baking powder until just combined.
5) Stir in a handful of chocolate chips.
6) Spoon the mixture in a non-stick loaf tin and place in the oven on the middle shelf to bake for one hour, until the loaf is golden brown on top.
7) Put the loaf on a wire rack to cool it down.
8) Enjoy with a nice hot cup of tea.
*The recipe actually specified that the wholemeal flour should be plain, and not self-raising, but I bought the wrong type, and therefore also abandoned the bicarbonate of soda. It didn't rise terribly well (none of my loaves do), but was perfectly delicious and generous in size!
