Kona Inn Banana Bread

Ingredients

• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup softened butter
• 6 medium ripe bananas, mashed (approximately 3 cups)
• 4 large eggs, well beaten
• 2½ cups cake flour
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease two 9-inch loaf pans.
2. With electric beater, cream together sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add bananas and eggs, beating until well-mixed.
3. Sift together dry ingredients three times. Blend with banana mixture and mix just until moistened. Do not over mix.
4. Divide batter between two prepared pans. Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, until firm in the centers and edges begin to separate from pans.
5. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes before removing from pans. These freeze beautifully.
