Old Fashioned Banana Bread image

My favorite banana bread. This recipe can be easily made into a 9x13 cake, also. I have been making this bread for years and I prefer it to others I have tried. This is a moist, flavorful bread or cake and it uses vegetable oil and whole wheat pastry flour to make it a little more healthy.

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 loaf, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 bananas, ripened and mashed
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup walnuts (or pecans)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix first seven ingredients together until well blended. (I use an electric mixer).
  • Add the dry ingredients, mixing just until blended.
  • Add the nuts if you are using them.
  • Pour into a 9x5 loaf pan that has been sprayed with Pam, or a 9x13 cake pan that has been sprayed with Pam.
  • Bake the loaf for 55 to 60 minutes and the cake for 30 to 35 minutes or until firm to the touch. I frost the cake with Allspice Cream Cheese Frosting from Zaar.
