Step 1

Preheat the oven to 160°C/325°F/Gas Mark 3 and grease and line a loaf tin.

Step 2

Sift the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, ground cinnamon and salt together in a bowl, then set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the banana with the sour cream and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Beat together the butter and Tate & Lyle Sugars with an electric whisk until light and fluffy. Gradually add the eggs, beating well between each addition. Finally add the flour mixture and mix thoroughly.

Step 5

Fold in the banana and sour cream mixture, stir through the chocolate chips, then spoon the mixture into the tin.

Step 6

Bake in the middle of the oven for 45 minutes.

Step 7

Cool the cake in the tin for 10 minutes, then brush the top with honey. Leave for another 20 minutes, then carefully lift out and let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

TOP TIP

Why not add a fresh banana sauce or chocolate drizzle on top of your cake for a special touch!
