to think this is NOT a proper banana loaf?

[JammyGem]

DP is a chef. We work at the same company, in different departments.

Today he informed me that because they have a lot of bananas leftover, he's making a banana loaf for the restaurant. Only it's not a real banana loaf- he's making a Victoria sponge and adding bananas into the sponge mix. That's it. That's his version of a banana loaf.

I love baking although can't cook proper food for shit and he freely admits that baking isn't his strong point as a chef. But he still insists his basic Victoria sponge with mashed banana is a real banana loaf. I rather unkindly suggested he may need to return to catering school. Who IBU here?

Obviously lighthearted before I get flamed

Well, clearly he is very, very wrong.
A loaf needs to be cooked in a loaf tin for a start.
That said, there are some very confused people on this thread, RUINING a yummy banana loaf by adding sultanas and raisins. NO. Don't do it!
Chocolate chips, or Nutella, are allowed though

Ooh sparechange I love the sound of the secret banana recipe, will have to give that a go...

I'm just glad that the majority of you sensible souls agree that DP is wrong. I will rub it in his face later. He might be some fancy chef with all his fancy food but even the ladies of mumsnet agree that he doesn't know his arse from his elbow when it comes to banana loaf.

I am the world's worst cook so I may be over-egging it a bit. Geddit?
