Method

Step 1 of 6

Grease a 1 kg loaf tin. Beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl with a hand-held electric whisk until pale and fluffy.

Step 2 of 6

Whisk in the eggs, mashed bananas, buttermilk and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3 of 6

Sift over the flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and salt and gently fold in with a large metal spoon, then stir in the chopped pecan nuts.

Step 4 of 6

Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and arrange the pecan halves down the centre.

Step 5 of 6

Bake in a preheated oven, 180°C, Gas Mark 4, for 50-60 minutes or until risen and golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cover the top of the loaf with foil if it becomes too brown.

Step 6 of 6

Leave the loaf to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then turn out on to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
