We've been on the hunt for the perfect banana bread recipe for some time and we think we've got it! Ideal for brunch with the girls, or even as a warm winter dessert. This recipe has come all the way from Botswana.

• Ingredients

  • 250g unsalted butter
  • 1 cup castor sugar
  • 2 cups plain flour
  • 1 teaspoon bi carb
  • 6 bananas
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons plain yoghurt (the Harris Farm 97% fat free or similar is the best - not Greek style)

• Method

  • Cream butter and sugar till light and fluffy
  • Add eggs and mashed bananas
  • Sift all dry ingredients and add to the butter mixture, add yoghurt and mix well
  • Pour into a well greased bar tin
  • We baked the cake for almost an hour - 20 mins on 180, then turned it down a little and cooked for another 35-40. Keep checking it with a skewer.
