            Special Banana Nut Bread


Ingredients

·         3/4 cup butter, softened
·         1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
·         2 cups sugar
·         2 large eggs
·         1-1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 4 medium)
·         1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
·         3 cups all-purpose flour
·         1/2 teaspoon baking powder
·         1/2 teaspoon baking soda
·         1/2 teaspoon salt
·         2 cups chopped pecans, divided

ORANGE GLAZE:

·         1 cup confectioners' sugar
·         3 tablespoons orange juice
·         1 teaspoon grated orange zest

HOW TO MAKE IT:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in bananas and vanilla. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Fold in 1 cup pecans.
  • Transfer to two greased 8x4-in. loaf pans. Sprinkle with remaining pecans. Bake loaves, covering with foil if they darken too rapidly, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 1-1-1/4 hours. Cool 10 minutes before removing to wire racks.
  • While loaves are still slightly warm, whisk glaze ingredients. Drizzle over loaves, using a baking pan or parchment paper under racks to catch excess. Cool completely.
