Preparation

  • Set the rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan of about 9 x 5 inches.
  • In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time and the vanilla, beating well, then mix in the mashed bananas.
  • In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt with a fork.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture with a spatula, just until the flour is moistened. Don’t overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake on the middle rack for 55 minutes to 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
  • Let cool 30 minutes in the pan before turning out onto a rack.
