150g plain flour
3 tbsp light Muscovado or caster sugar
200ml milk
1 tsp baking powder
3 eggs
2 bananas
1 apple
1 pear
A pinch of salt
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Butter a loaf tin and line with baking paper.
Wash and peel the fruit. Chop the apple and pear into small pieces. Cut the two bananas into thin slices and mash until soft.
Set the fruit aside and combine the sugar and eggs in a large bowl. Mix until light and fluffy.
Add the flour, milk, baking powder and salt and mix well.
Add the fruit and mix until thoroughly combined.
Pour the mixture into the loaf tin and bake in the oven for around 30 minutes. It should be golden brown on top and fully risen. You can test it with a skewer to check – if it comes out clean then the cake is ready.
When the cake is done, remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Then slide it gently onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Cut into slices to serve, drizzled with honey or maple syrup.
