Preparation
Step 1
Beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.
Combine flour and next 3 ingredients; gradually add to butter mixture, beating at low speed just until blended. Stir in bananas, pecans, and vanilla. Spoon batter into 2 greased and floured 8x4 inch loaf pans.
Bake at 350 degrees fahrenheit for 1 hour or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean and sides pull away from pan, shielding with aluminum foil last 15 minutes to prevent browning, if necessary. I found that after one hour, my banana bread wasn't completely cooked through. I ended up baking it for an extra 10-15 minutes.
Cool bread in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes.
Remove from pans, and cool 30 minutes on wire racks before slicing.
