Time 1h25m

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

200g wholemeal plain flour
100 plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
Pinch of salt
2 tsp cinnamon
70g walnuts, roughly chopped
130g sultanas
85g soft brown sugar
60ml vegetable oil
1 heaped tbsp low fat natural yoghurt
225g courgette, grated
170g ripe banana, mashed (about 2 normal sized bananas)
2 large eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/350F/gas mark 4.
  • Grease with butter and line a medium (2lb) loaf tin.
  • Sift together the flours, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and cinnamon, with a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the sugar, walnuts and sultanas.
  • In a separate bowl combine the remaining ingredients, before gently folding into the dry mixture.
  • Spoon the cake mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until the cake is risen and golden brown. If the loaf is browning too quickly cover loosely with aluminium foil.
  • Leave to cool in the tin before turning out. Serve cut into thick slices, spread with butter if liked.
