Directions
1. The initial step for making banana bread is to preheat the oven at 163 degrees celsius. Take a 9 by 5 - inch loaf pan or a pan similar to this size and grease it. Also, line the bottom of the loaf pan with a small piece or either parchment paper or wax paper.
2. Now, in a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Mix the constituents thoroughly after adding eggs one at a time.
3. Stir in mashed bananas and milk and combine well.
4. Take another mixing bowl and combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. After mixing the dry ingredients well, combine them with wet ingredients, and stir everything nicely.
5. Your batter is ready! Pour banana batter into a loaf pan you just prepared. Bake banana bread for an hour or 1 hour 10 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center.
6. After baking the banana bread, take it out of the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack. For a few minutes, cool the banana bread before removing it from the pan.
SERVE BANANA BREAD WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
