I used frozen blueberries & cranberries, but you can use fresh if it's in season
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/Gas mark 4
In a food processor, using the K-beater attachment, cream the butter & caster sugar until fluffy
In a small measuring jug, lightly beat the eggs, before adding them to the butter & sugar, a little at a time, mixing after each addition
Mix in the buttermilk and vanilla extract
In another medium-sized mixing bowl, sift all the dry ingredients together - flour, baking powder, bicarb & salt
Add the dry to the wet mixture in 3 stages, mixing after each addition
Roughly slice the bananas and mix into the batter
With a spatula, fold in the blueberries and cranberries
Pour the batter into a greased
23cm/9inch loose-based deep sandwich cake tin
and make level with the spatula
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes away clean
Leave in the tin for 5 minutes before running a sharp knife around the inside circumference of the tin and easing it away
Allow to cool on a wire rack
