4.Increase speed to medium; beat mixture until smooth.
5.Stir in banana and prunes. Spread mixture into pan.
6.Bake bread about 1 hour, or until skewer comes out clean and dry after testing in centre.
7.Stand bread in pan for 5 minutes; turn, top-side up, onto wire rack to cool.

If you want to make the bread a little lighter in colour and texture, use half white self-raising flour with the wholemeal self-raising flour.
