Nonna’s Banana Bread

(two loaves)

2 cups gran­u­lated sugar
1 cup soft­ened but­ter
6 ripe bananas, mashed (approx­i­mately 3 cups)
4 eggs, well beaten
2 1/2 cups cake flour
2 tea­spoons bak­ing soda
1 tea­spoon salt

Pre­heat oven to 350 degrees.

With elec­tric beater, cream together sugar and but­ter until light and fluffy. Add bananas and eggs, beat­ing until well mixed.

Sift together dry ingre­di­ents three times. Blend with banana mix­ture, but do not over mix.

Pour into 2 lightly-greased loaf pans. Bake for 45 min­utes to one hour, until firm in the cen­ters and the edges begin to sep­a­rate from pans.

Cool on a rack for 10 min­utes before remov­ing from pans. These freeze beautifully.
