Ingredients
- ½ cup butter flavored vegetable shortening
- ⅔ cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1¾ cups flour
- 2¾ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 medium bananas, very ripe & mashed
- ½ cup chopped toasted pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a large mixer bowl, beat shortening 2 minutes until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy after each addition. Add the eggs & vanilla, beating until thick and a pale lemon color.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture, alternating with the mashed bananas and combining well after each addition.
- Grease and flour the bottom only of an 8-inch bread pan. Pour the batter into the bread pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, testing with a cake tester in the center for doneness.
- Cool at least 10 minutes before removing from the pan, then cool completely on a wire rack.
- Serve warm and slathered with lots of butter, yum!
