1 1/4 C whole wheat flour
1 T baking soda
1 pinch salt
1/2 C + 1 T softened butter
1 C white sugar
3/4 C brown sugar, packed

Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 F. (175 C) Grease a 9 x 13 baking pan with butter.
2. In a small bowl, stir together both flours, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together both sugars and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat in vanilla.
4. Stir in mashed bananas. Stir in flour mixture alternately with buttermilk. Stir in walnuts and optional raisins or cranberries. Pour into prepared pan.
5. Bake in pre-heated oven for 30 - 35 minutes. Test with a fork in the middle.
To make substitute buttermilk, pour 1 T white vinegar into a calibrated 1 C measuring cup. Add enough milk to read 2/3 C. Stir a few times while allowing 10 minutes to curdle.
Comments: This recipe is adapted from an AllRecipes.com banana cake recipe. It can be baked in two 8 inch round pans and frosted with cream cheese frosting. This is an attempt to replicate the delicious banana bread we found in Antigua, especially at the Pineapple Beach Resort in April 2021.The chef said to add tart cherry juice, but I am not sure that made a difference. Enjoy a taste of the islands!
