Spiced Banana Bread with Sour Cream
Ingredients:
* 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
* 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
* 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
* 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 2 large eggs
* 1/2 cup sour cream
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
* 1/4 cup caraway seeds (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the mashed bananas and sour cream.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract, walnuts, and caraway seeds (if using).
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
6. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before transferring to a plate or another wire rack to cool completely.
