An interesting trivia about cranberries is that they are also called bounceberries because a good ripe cranberry bounces. They also have medicinal qualities but we are not interested in that fact now.
Five or six hours prior to preparing the batter, soak about 2 heaped tbsp dried cranberries in half a cup of dark rum. Mash 2 ripe bananas well. Chop half a cup of walnuts.
In a mixing bowl, throw in 200g butter and whisk 140g castor sugar, 1 tbsp honey amd 1 tsp vanilla essence well with the butter with an electric whisk. Once soft and creamy, add 3 eggs, but one at a time giving it a nice whisk each time so that the eggs softly blend in. The mix will look light yellow and creamy.
In a separate bowl mix 300g flour with 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1/4 tsp salt. Sieve once. Add half of this to the butter mix and with a spatula mix well. Now add the banana mash and fold in completely. Next add the rest of the flour mix and once again blend thoroughly again with a spatula. It is time to pick out the cranberries from the rum cup and add them to the batter along with the chopped walnut. One more good round of gentle folding and the batter is ready to go!
Pour into the waiting prepared baking tin and set it into the pre-heated oven. It takes about 30 mins at 150 degrees centigrade. Have fun!
