Banana Bread with Passionfruit Butter Recipe

Ingredients 1 2/3 cups (250g) plain flour 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/3 cup (75g) caster sugar 1/3 firmly packed cup (65g) brown sugar 1 tsp ground cinnamon 2 eggs, beaten 1 tsp vanilla extract 3 bananas, mashed Passionfruit butter 250g cream cheese 1/3 cup (4 tbs) good-quality lemon curd (see note) 1/4 cup (40g) icing sugar, sifted 1/4 cup fresh passionfruit pulp (from about 4 passionfruit) Method Step 1: Preheat the oven to 160°C and grease and line a 10cm x 20cm loaf pan. Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl, then stir in sugars and cinnamon. Add eggs, vanilla and banana and stir until well combined. Spread into prepared pan. Step 2: Bake for 45-50 minutes until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Step 3: Meanwhile for the butter, place cheese, lemon curd and sugar in a food processor. Pulse briefly until just combined (don't overwork or it'll be too runny). Add the passionfruit and pulse 2-3 times to combine. Chill until ready to serve. (Passionfruit butter will keep in a sealed container for up to 1 week in the fridge.) Step 4: Slice the banana bread and serve with the passionfruit butter.
