Tips and Variations:
- If the almond extract is not available or you don’t like it, vanilla extracts perfectly in this recipe.
- For the most flavorful bread, I highly recommend using ripe bananas that are very ripe and easy to mush. Also banana must be brown, very ripe, and easy to mush, but don’t wait for the bananas to turn completely brown, it’s not going to taste good.
- Do not slice the bananas because they will leave lumps when cooked in the bread (unless you like it that way). Instead, mash them then add a recipe, this will result in a soft, fluffy, and moist cake.
- A delicious way to eat the pound cake is with butter or some vanilla ice cream.
- Watch the bread closely after 45-50 minutes of baking to make sure not to over bake it. A toothpick inserted in the center of the cake should come out clean or just with some melted chocolate on, but not raw batter.
- Banana bread can store at room temperature for 24 hours, then must be placed in the fridge for up to a week in an airtight container.
