Banana bread is the basic of all cakes. The simpleness in the making and the fabulousness of the taste amazes me again and again. This special recipe gives you a very fluffy and moist cake, which is what I love about it. As a child, I have always dreaded eating dry cakes at neighbours homes. I have added some walnuts for an interesting crunch and the added flavor, but you can easily switch that out and add your own ingredient and customize it to your own. Kids always love oozing chocolate chips. Or add other nuts, raisins, banana chips or some icing. I already know this will be the staple cake I make again and again. I can already imagine waking up my family with the smell of fresh banana bread from the kitchen.
Tips: Be sure to let the banana bread cool completely before cutting slices and serving, otherwise the banana bread will be too soft to cut and will start crumbling.
