Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and lightly flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. Cream the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Add the eggs one by one, beating well after each addition.
3. Combine the dry ingredients in a small bowl and add to the butter mixture, a little at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. Add the bananas and vanilla and mix to combine.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 1/2 hours.
6. Cool the loaf in the pan for 10 minutes and then turn it out onto a rack to cool completely.
