Banana Fruit Loaf
At BakingBar we love fruit loaf, in fact we cant quite get enough of it. It seems to be the most requested cake in our own house. So we decided to put a bit of a twist on the traditional fruit loaf and combine it with our equally popular banana bread thus creating Banana Fruit Loaf and mmmm its delicious! Its rather simple too so give it a go yourself and impress your friends and family.
