Kathys Banana Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 9x13 inch pan, or two 7x3 inch loaf pans.
• Combine banana and sour cream. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and banana mixture. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; stir into the banana mixture. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan or pans.
• Bake for 50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-by-2 1/2-inch loaf pans with cooking spray.
• Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and allspice in a small mixing bowl.
• Beat the sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla in a medium bowl until well combined. Mix in the zucchini and pineapple. Add to the dry ingredients and mix well. Stir in the raisins.
• Pour half the batter into each loaf pan. Bake, rotating the pans halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Let the bread cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then carefully turn out the loaves to finish cooling on a wire rack.

Steps:

• For the banana cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt into a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Add the bananas to the butter mixture and mix until combined. Let the mixer do the work of mashing for you. Add the eggs one at a time and mix until well combined. Mix in the yogurt and vanilla. Turn the mixer to low and add the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake until a cake tester or toothpick comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then turn onto a wire rack and cool completely.
• For the cream cheese frosting: Using the electric mixer on high speed, blend the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. With the mixer on low, add the confectioners' sugar and then the vanilla.
• Spread the frosting on top of the cake. Decorate around the perimeter of the cake with raspberries, if desired.
