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.
