Mel's Banana Bread
This one comes from my grandma's good friend Melanie. She wanted to share her secret Banana Bread recipe with Stir Occasionally because she was cooking a dish from the blog tonight. I sure hope it was a good one if we get to enjoy this decadent masterpiece in exchange! Thanks Melanie!
Ingredients:
Bread
3/4 cup softened butter
8 oz. cream cheese (softened)
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups mashed banana
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
3 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tbsp orange juice (I fresh squeezed it)
Directions:
Beat the butter, cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Add eggs and banana. Set aside. In separate bowl mix dry ingredients. Add to other mixture. Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
I used 1.5 times the glaze mixture because I like it super glazy!! :-) You just mix the powdered sugar and orange juice, pour it over the hot banana bread and totally enjoy!!!
