Can someone point me in the right direction... ...to some posts that are "add all dry ingredients then wet ingredients and mix". I am a new baker with children with diary allergies and just learning. Drooling over getting a cake mixer at the moment though which should help.

White Chocolate and Banana Teabread 250 g SR flour; 1 tsp baking powder; 135 g unsalted butter, cut into small pieces; 135 g caster sugar; grated rind of 1 lemon; 3 eggs; 3 small very ripe bananas, mashed; 150 g white chocolate chopped into small pieces, plus 50g extra white chocolate for decoration
Preheat oven to 180 C. Use baking paper to line a big loaf tin.
Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl, and rub in the butter. Add the sugar, lemon rind, eggs, banana and chocolate pieces, & beat until ingredients evenly combined.
Spoon into loaf tin & bake 50-60 minutes until well risen & skewer inserted comes out clean. Leave in tin 10 minutes before putting on a rack to cool.
Break the remaining chocolate into small pieces & melt. (I use microwave.) Drizzle over the teabread.
