Mom’s Banana BreadPT95Mhttps://img1.recipesrun.com/201907/2019/1023/39/c/253199/300x200x90.jpg The original recipe called for all-purpose flour but I love using cake flour. Cake flour is finer and has a lower gluten content so it results in a soft, very moist banana bread. 12 servings

Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 320°F/160°C (350°F/175°C for light metal pans) and grease or line a 9-inch loaf pan.
Step 2
In a bowl, sift together cake flour, baking soda, and salt. If adding walnuts (or other mix-ins), take a couple of spoonfuls of the flour mixture into a separate bowl and toss the walnuts with it. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar. Add the eggs, banana, yogurt, milk, and vanilla and mix until combined.
Step 4
Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir only until combined. Fold in the walnuts and pour into the prepared loaf pan.
Step 5
Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes and test for doneness with a skewer (spaghetti works well too!). Let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
