Photo: Banana Bread Recipe
Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 large bananas)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups cake flour
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup toasted, chopped walnuts
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Lightly grease a 9 1/4 by 5 1/4 by 2 1/2-inch loaf pan with 1 teaspoon of the butter.
Puree the bananas, sour cream, eggs and vanilla in a food processor.
Sift the cake flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fixed with a whisk attachment. Add the remaining 10 tablespoons butter and mix on medium-low speed until blended, about 30 seconds. Add the banana mixture in 3 batches, scraping the sides of the bowl and mixing on medium speed between each addition. Fold in the nuts.
Pour into the loaf pan. Bake until lightly browned and bread bounces back to the touch, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto wire rack to cool completely.

rBy far the best banana bread ive ever tasted and real easy to do! I love that strong banana flavor so I used 3 and it was perfect Ima do 4 next time for an even stronger flavor = I read a couple of reviews before doing it so I followed some suggestions, I used yogurt instead of sour cream an I added a tsp of cinnamon. My entire family loved it defenitely a keeper. Made it yesterday n its gone already. Looking forward to doing it again so I can myself a french toast with a slice of this bread.

Always awesome, I just exchange yogurt for the sour cream for a slightly healthier choice and I think it also makes a bit more moist. And I usually use more bananas, up to 4. Ofcourse, I then make it less healthier by exchanging the walnuts with chocolate chips! Oh, I then antagonize my arteries even further by spreading a little smooth peanut butter on a warm slice. Delicious.
