How long does it really take?
In a 9x5 tin a loaf this size usually wants 50 to 60 minutes at 350F. A narrower 8.5x4.5 tin runs 10 to 15 minutes longer again and can sink in the middle.
Treat 45 minutes as the earliest it could be done. If the top is colouring fast at 40 minutes, tent it with foil and keep going.
How do you tell when it is done?
Put a skewer through the centre. It should come out with a few dry crumbs and no wet batter.
Grease and line the tin first. Leave the loaf in the tin for 10 minutes before turning it out, or it tears along the bottom.
