Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease two 8x4 inch loaf pans.
• Beat together 2 tablespoons of softened butter and cream cheese in a large bowl until fluffy. Slowly beat in sugar until well incorporated. Add the egg and mix well. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. In a different bowl, mix together the bananas, milk, 2 tablespoons rum, lime zest, lime juice, and vanilla extract; stir well. Pour 1/3 of the flour mixture into the butter and mix well. Mix in 1/2 of the mashed bananas. Continue with another 1/3 of the flour, followed by the remaining banana mixture, and finally the remaining flour. Fold in 1/4 cup pecans and 1/4 cup coconut flakes.
• Pour the mixture into the loaf pans, and bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about one hour. When finished, cool for 10 minutes in the pan, remove, and finish cooling on a wire rack.
• After you take the banana bread out of the oven, prepare the topping by stirring together the brown sugar, remaining butter, lime juice, and 2 teaspoons of rum in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer stirring constantly; cook until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth, about one minute. Remove from heat, and stir in 2 tablespoons pecans, and 2 tablespoons coconut. Spoon this topping over the loaves while they are still warm. The topping will harden slightly when the loaf cools.

JAMAICAN BANANA NUT BREAD

Steps:

• 1. This is so easy!
• 2. Preheat oven to 350.
• 3. Mix vinegar and milk so that the milk will curdle. Actually, I have used 5 tablespoons of buttermilk instead of vinegar and milk. Works just as well!
• 4. Add everything else, and pour into two loaf pans that have been either sprayed with baking spray or greased and floured.
• 5. Bake about 40 minutes, depending on your oven. At our high altitude (6400 feet), it takes only about 35 minutes.
• 6. The longer you have to bake the bread, the darker in color it will be. Delicious, especially warm with a little butter on it!
