Ingredients

  • 5 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1/2 cups Sugar
  • 1/2 cups Brown Sugar, Firmly Packed
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 2 whole Egg Whites
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1-1/2 cup Banana, Very Ripe, Mashed
  • 1-3/4 cup Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/2 cups Heavy Cream
  • 1/3 cups Walnuts, Chopped (optional)

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray the bottom only of a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Beat butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add sugars; beat well. Add egg, egg whites, and vanilla; beat until well blended. Add banana and beat on high speed for 30 seconds.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Add to the butter mixture, alternating with cream, ending with the flour mixture. Add walnuts to the batter; mix well.
  • Pour batter into the loaf pan. Bake until browned and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
  • Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely on the wire rack.
