BANANA-WALNUT LOAF

To be frank i don't know the difference between a loaf and a cake.i just googled it and got the answer as" it depends on the shape ".if its made in a rectangular dish then its a loaf and in a normal cake tin it is a cake.Am I right?many r familiar with this banana and walnut combination i guess.I used freshly de-shelled walnuts & fresh banana .We have a Persian grocery store near by my place where i get my fresh produce .I always bring walnuts (with shells) which r very cheap.Walnuts have Omega-3 and its very good for health.I only deshell them when ever i want to eat in order to keep them fresh.

The cooking time of this is more than the usual cakes or loafs .Banana helps this loaf to be moist even after cutting n storing.I topped the loaf with chopped almonds,chopped walnuts and chopped raisins.When i was about to take from the oven i was happy to smell it.The golden raisins n banana smell was too good...i loved it...finally my husband certified that the cake really came out well n its very tasty .Oh! i was very happy then...
