Banana Loaf Cake

  • 1/2 cup BUTTER or MARGARINE, softened
  • 3/4 cup LIGHT-BROWN SUGAR, firmly packed
  • 3/4 cup GRANULATED SUGAR
  • 1 tsp VANILLA
  • 1 large EGG
  • 1 large EGG YOLK
  • 1 cup * BANANA (very ripe), mashed
  • 2 cups ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
  • 1 tsp BAKING POWDER
  • 1/2 tsp BAKING SODA
  • 1/2 tsp SALT
  • 3/4 cup BUTTERMILK

    • Preheat oven to 325-degrees.

    Grease a large loaf pan; set aside.

    Mix all the dry ingredients together; set aside.

    Cream butter. Gradually add sugars and beat until light and fluffy. Add vanilla, whole egg, egg yolk and beat well. Blend in banana, then add dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition until smooth. Pour into prepared pan.

    Bake about 55 minutes, or until cake tests done.

    Cool in pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Turn out and cool completely.

    NOTE: * For 1 cup mashed banana, mash 2 medium bananas with a fork or potato masher (DO NOT whirl in blender).

    This is very moist, so you won't need a frosting or a glaze.
