As others have said something is up with the wet side. I took the advice here to use 160 and 1Hr and 20. Still underdone. Gave it another 10 and still not setting properly. Seems to have sunk yet the outside is a nice caramelised colour. Only thing I can think of is too much banana as the the proportions don't seem that out of balance. Maybe someone can give a banana weight measurement versus volume.

Pretty good, I omitted the baking soda, walnuts and caster sugar the first time and tried cooking it in the air fryer which went surprisingly well.

I couldn't wait for the butter to be soft naturally so used microwave defrost mode for few minutes. (Time will vary for different microwaves). Added sugar and hand whisk instead electric beater to save time and cleanup. Milk warmed up to stop the butter from solidifying. Result was great. Cooked for an hour as advised.

Needs more baking powder and soda otherwise very tasty
Preheat oven to 180°C bake. Grease and line a loaf pan (approximately 22-24cm x 13cm).
Beat butter, Chelsea Caster Sugar and Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar together until pale and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Sift in flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Stir a couple of times to partially mix in.
In a separate smaller bowl, dissolve baking soda in milk. Add to butter mixture with bananas and walnuts, if using. Mix until combined.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool in tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
