Step 2

Tip the flour, cinnamon, butter, sugar, 2 tbsp honey and eggs into a large mixing bowl. Mash the bananas and chop the dates, then add to the bowl.

Step 3

Beat the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes with a wooden spoon or hand-held mixer until well blended.

Step 4

Spoon into the prepared tin, level the top and scatter the walnut pieces over. Bake for 1 hour.

Step 5

Lightly press the top — it should feel firm when cooked. If not, bake for a further 10 minutes.

Step 6

Cool in the tin for 15 minutes, then lift out using the paper. Once fully cold, drizzle the remaining 1 tbsp honey over the top. Cut into thick slices.
