Banana Walnut Bread

Banana and Walnut...one of my favourite combo in a cake. This is another yummy cake baked for gathering with friends during the long Singapore Jubilee weekend. 

This is a very simple loaf cake. It's basically a mix wet ingredients to dry ingredients cake and involves minimal washing.

Not only is this cake packed with flavour and fragrance, it is also great on 'crunch' with the addition of walnuts.
