Moist Banana Bread

Photobucket

"I am dreaming for a White Christmas...." Oh yeah, I'm always dreaming of a White Christmas, with a cup of hot coffee & a piece of indulgence dessert, sitting in front of french-styled windows... watching those snow flakes falling down to the earth! What a fantastic White Christmas! Will my dream comes true? Oh dear! I guess I need a longer time to make this dream comes true but for sure it will come true one day... hohoho....
Before my dream come true, let me make an indulgence dessert for this Christmas & fill my little prince & my loving hubby's tummy.

This recipe was adapted from YOUTUBE (watch the video clip for the steps). I baked this for Christmas. It was indeed a very good recipe. Simple ingredients and tasty! This is a "quick bread recipe" without using yeast according to the baker. The secret ingredient for this moist banana bread is the sour cream. It is awesome! The texture is moist, soft & delicious!

Thanks to this recipe as I can bake it without hassle in a short period for my family, especially my hubby whom a banana bread or cakes' lover. If you are looking for a simple banana recipe, try this and you will surely like it.

Before I off for Christmas break.
Here I would like to give my sincere wishes to all my wonderful friends and foodies...
A Merry Merry Blessed Christmas
& Happy New Year!

Ingredients A:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder

Ingredients B:
1/2 cup softened butter
1 1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
4 tbsp sour cream

Ingredient C:
5 medium-sized bananas, mashed ( I used "pisang berangan")

Methods:
1. Sieve ingredients A. Set aside.
2. Combine ingredients B in electric cake mixer & mix well.
3. Fold in ingredient A. Mix well.
4. Mash 5 medium-sized bananas in a bowl.
5. Pour in the banana. Mix well.
6. Transfer to a 20cm X 20cm baking tray lined with baking paper.
7. Preheat oven for 10 mins. Bake at 450F for 20 mins. Off oven and let it bake for another 5 mins. (I have adjusted the temperature and timing) (YouTube recipe going for 350F for 1 hour)
8. Use a skewer to test if the bread is cooked.
9. If the skewer comes out clean and dry means the cake is cooked. You may need to test and adjust according to your oven features.
10.Let cool & cut into your desired shape.

Hi Selba, tks... tks... hope your Mum likes it too!

Hi Anggie, I got the sour cream from Jusco Supermarket. It can be used in many other ways, like salad dressing, baking, cooking or dipping too. Do give it a try!

Hi Mikky, Christine, Food Lover, ICook4Fun, noobcook, mycookinghut & Sue Sue... tks and Merry Christmas to you too.

Hi dolphing... welcome and tks... hope you will like it.
