Banana Loaf Cake

"This recipe is a family favorite. It is great for using overripe bananas. I usually double the recipe and make two loaves. You can also add walnuts if you wish. Note: When your bananas are overripe, you can put them in the freezer until you are ready to use them."

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 egg
• 3 very ripe bananas

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 5x9-inch loaf pan.
• Mash bananas and add flour, sugar, butter, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda and egg. Mix well. Pour into loaf pan.
• Bake in preheated oven until toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes.
