Banana Rum Quick Bread

Created by sweety_Lisa on December 29, 2011

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (white or whole wheat flour)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening (Crisco shortening at room temperature, you can use butter or half butter and shortening)
2 cups granulated sugar

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F.
Step 2: Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Step 3: Combine flour, baking soda and salt; stir to mix well.
Step 4: Using an electric mixer, in a bowl beat together shortening, sugar, mashed bananas, and eggs and rum. When well beaten, gradually add the flour mixture while mixture is at lowest speed. Mix only until combined using a spoon.
Step 5: Stir in the chopped walnuts. Transfer the batter to pan. Bake for 65-70 minutes or until cake tests done (toothpick inserted in center comes out clean).
Step 6: Remove from oven and allow to sit for several minutes. Run a bread knife around edges of loaf pan to free it from sides and remove from pan.
