Super-moist Banana Bread


 

As I said earlier, I just love banana! The secret ingredient to make this cake soft and moist is sour cream..

Ingredients

* 1/2 cup (1 stick) Butter, softened
* 1 1/4 cups Granulated Sugar
* 2 Eggs
* 4 tbsp. Sour Cream
* 1 1/2 cups Flour, all-purpose (white)
* 1 tsp. Baking Soda
* 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
* 1.5 cups (2-3) ripe Bananas, mashed (NOTE: Original recipe called for 1 cup and baked a little less, but I usually use more banana and bake it a wee bit longer. The tracker includes the extra bit of banana!)

Directions

Grease 9" x 5" loaf pan.
2. Beat together butter and sugar.
3. Add eggs. Mix well.
4. Add sour cream, flour, baking soda, vanilla, and bananas. Mix well.
5. Pour into prepared loaf pan.
6. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 - 55 minutes, or until toothpick in center comes out clean.
7. Cool on rack, and wrap in plastic wrap overnight to bring out the moisture in the bread.
8. Makes 1 loaf, cut into 14 slices about 5/8" thick each.



Happy baking!
