Banana Nut Bread




this one was something ishu di asked me to make.the way she said it made it sound simple...and well it was simple to make.of course for the details i had to google it but still i made it and i ate it...so down it goes in the history of my blog...

the ingredients were...(now since i googled this receipe i have the measures too...only thing is i halved everything.else my mom will scream saying "u waste while cooking"....sigh sigh)
anyways the ingedients were
* 1 cup sugar
* 1/2 cup butter
* 2 eggs
* 2 cups flour
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (i used cardamom and almond..the reults were good with these 2 too)
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 3 soft, ripe bananas, mashed

now here's what i did:

added butter and sugar and tried to cream it just like the instructions said.but my butter was frozen so not much 'creaming' happened...so out of frustration i put the butter sugar gooey mixture and the banana and eggs in the mixer and blended them all...i was happy with the result and i happily continued with the rest of the instructions...
to this mixture i added the chopped nuts, baking soda and the flour and made a batter out of this.thing of note...i did not use half tsp baking soda...pooja once told me things dont rise if there is less baking soda..so these days i dont take any chance...anyways.after this i put the batter in a baking vessel (ideally its supposed to be a loaf pan but i will be damned if we get a loaf pan in gangtok....so i used my mom's normal 4 corner borosil baking pan)...baked it at 325 degree farenheit (which google told me was 162 degrees celsius) for 1 hour...
