Banana Loaf Cake

Dorothy Park Kataoka, Class of 1945

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1-1/3 cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup banana pulp
• 2 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3 Tbsp milk

Cream butter; add sugar slowly, beating well. Add unbeaten eggs one at a time. Beat well after each egg is added. Add vanilla extract and fold in banana pulp. Add remaining dry ingredients, sift all together, alternating with milk. Bake in well-greased loaf or tube pan in 350 degree oven about 1 hour.

NOTE: Do not make more than 2 batches at a time for best result. Has not failed me, yet.
