Banana loaf recipe

We had some old bananas and some DISGUSTING chocolate. The chocolate was 95% cocoa solids and that is clearly too much. I bought it thinking that dark chocolate is nice, so darker would be nicer, but it proves you can have too much of a good thing.
Doug tricked me in to tasting it even though he knew it was HORRIBLE - I should maybe have guessed from the maker who seems to be 'Gross' which is a good description of it.
However made in to icing by melting it and adding a bit of water and about the same weight of icing sugar as chocolate it made very nice icing.

We took a walk with the dog first to help justify eating cake

140g sugar
140g butter
140g self raising flour
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
2 or 3 bananas (depending on size) mashed with a fork
A handful of raisins/sultanas
1/2 tsp salt
Chocolate, lemon or orange icing

Turn the oven on at 180C
Cream butter and sugar together.
Mix the flour and the salt and the baking powder together in a bowl
Add the eggs and a bit of the flour mix
Then add the rest of the flour mix and stir it in
Add the banana and raisins and stir in
Line a 2lb bread tin with grease proof paper
Put the mix in to the tin and in to the oven
Cook for about 30 mins until a skewer comes out clean

Ice the cake
