Banana Bread

Preheat oven 350 degrees

(Butter 9 1/4 x 4 1/4 loaf pan)

2 cups cake flour

2 large mashed bananas

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks melted butter)

1/2 cup sour cream

2 large eggs

1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup and 2 teaspoons sugar

1/2 cup nuts (optional)

1/2 cups chocolate chips (optional)

1/4 to 1/2 cup coconut

Sift cake flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt into medium size bowl. In large bowl blend bananas, sour cream, eggs and vanilla. Pour and blend a little at a time the flour mixture into the banana mixture until smooth. Slowly blend melted butter to batter. (At this point you can add any or all of the optional ingredients.) Pour into buttered 9 1/2 x 4 1/4 loaf pan. Bake in pre-heated 350 degree oven until lightly brown and bread bounces back to touch about 1 hour 10 minutes. I also test with toothpick making sure when it is removed it comes out clean. Let cool on wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
