• Non-stick Bread Tin
• Fork

Steps:  

1. Pre-heat oven to 170°C
2. Grease the bread tin with butter
3. Mash the bananas in mixing bowl with fork 
4. Now add the rest of the ingredients to the mixing bowl  
5. Mix until everything is combined.
6. Pour mixture into the bread tin
7. Place in center of oven
8. Cook for 45 to 50 minutes
9. Test by inserting a skewer into the middle of bread. If it comes out clean the bread is done. If it has wet bread stuck to it, cook for a further ten minutes and then test again.
10. Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes and then take out to cool on a wire rack.

 Enjoy!

Cola Cupcakes with Cola, Rum, & Lime Frosting!

 
So I was flicking through a friends new baking cookbook, Hummingbird Bakery: Cake Days, and I found COLA CUPCAKES!! I love cola gummy sweets and I had to make these so I photocopied the recipe. After making these, I ended up buying the book, a piping set, new scales, and new cupcake batter scooper a.k.a. an ice cream scooper. I am looking forward to making many more yummy recipes from this book.
