I have made this banana bread on several occasions and it always comes out moist and very tasty!! -
This will be one of my favorites for banana bread. I loved the brown sugar in it. I didn't have heavy cream, so I used buttermilk. It worked fine. Can't beleive it could have been better. Judy Fearis, KY
