Title: Banana Bread (Moosewood)
Categories: Breads, Cakes
Yield: 2 Loaves
Butter Mixture:
1 1/2 c Butter; melted
1 3/4 c Brown sugar -OR-
1 1/2 c Honey
4 Eggs; room temperature
2 1/2 ts Vanilla extract
1/2 ts Almond extract
1 Orange; grated rind of
Flour Mixture:
2 c Whole wheat flour
2 c White flour
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts Baking soda
3 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Nutmeg
2 ts Ground cinnamon
Banana Mixture:
2 c Ripe bananas; well-mashed, soaked in:
1 c Strong, black coffee
3/4 c Currants (optional)
3/4 c Nuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 350?F.
Add flour mixture and banana mixture alternately to butter mixture,
beginning and ending with flour (flour, banana, flour, banana,
flour). After each addition mix gently to combine, but do not beat or
otherwise overmix--tis toughens and dries a cake. Add nuts and
raisins last. Generously butter 2 loaf pans and sprinkle with sesame
seeds (they'll stick to the butter).
Divide batter and bake 40 to 50 minutes. Cool 10 minutes in the pan,
then remove to finish cooling. Serve plain, or with butter and cream
cheese.
