Cathy's Banana Bread
Description
Sour cream makes this bread especially moist and a bit tangy, a fine counterpoint to the intense sweetness of banana.
Ingredients
•
1 cup mashed bananas
•
1 cup sour cream
•
1/4 cup margarine
•
1 1/3 cups white sugar
•
2 eggs
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
2 cups all-purpose flour
•
1 teaspoon baking soda
•
1 teaspoon baking powder
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 9x13 inch pan, or two 7x3 inch loaf pans.
2
Combine banana and sour cream. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and banana mixture. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; stir into the banana mixture. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan or pans.
3
Bake for 50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
