Benjamina Ebuehi’s recipe for banana and passion fruit loaf | The sweet spot

There’s banana bread, then there’s this sweeter, lighter loaf studded with passion fruit and topped with creamy icing

I’m pretty sure we’ve all got at least one solid banana bread recipe up our sleeve. My go-to is dense, barely sweet and at its best when toasted and smothered in salted butter. But the version I’m sharing today is for when I need something that’s more cake than bread: a bit sweeter, fluffier and topped with a creamy icing studded with lots of passion fruit to brighten it up. I still make it in a loaf tin, but it also works in a 20cm square tin.
