OUR FAVORITE BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5" loaf pan with butter and dust with flour, tapping out any excess.
• Combine banana, sour cream, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
• Using an electric mixer, beat butter and brown sugar on medium speed in another large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 1/2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time and beat on medium speed until fully combined, about 1 minute each. Add banana mixture and beat until just combined, about 30 seconds. Add dry ingredients in 2 batches, beating on low after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl if necessary, until fully incorporated, about 20 seconds per batch. Fold in walnuts. Transfer batter to prepared pan and smooth top with a spatula.
• Bake, rotating halfway through, until batter is set, top is dark golden brown and starting to crack, sides are starting to pull away from pan, and a tester inserted into center of bread comes out clean, 60-65 minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack at least 15 minutes. Run a butter knife around perimeter of pan to loosen loaf, then tap pan gently on its side until loaf releases. Transfer to a cutting board or plate and let cool completely before slicing.

THE BEST EASY CAKE RECIPE: CRATER CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F
• Cream together room temperature butter and sugar with a hand mixer or with the paddle attachment of your stand mixer. Add beaten eggs and beat this mixture until smooth. Add vanilla and mashed bananas. Mix again until smooth.
• Sift flour, powder, and baking soda. Add this dry mixture to the banana mixture, alternating with sour cream. (I add a scoop of dry mixture, a scoop of sour cream, and keep mixing and repeating until all ingredients are used up)
• Pour half the cake batter into a greased 9 x 13 pan. Combine cinnamon and brown sugar. Sprinkle half the mixture over batter in pan. Top with half the chocolate chips. Repeat, so you have two layers of cake and two layers of the cinnamon/brown sugar/chocolate (this will be your top layer).
• Bake @ 350 for 50-55 minutes, until the center of the cake is set.
