2 Loaves
Ingredients
3 1/4 C. All Purpose Flour
2 tsp. Baking Soda
-
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon, Korintje Ground
-
1/2 tsp. Sea Salt, Fine
4 Large Eggs, Room Tempature
2 1/3 C. Sugar
3 C. Very Ripe Bananas, Coarsely Mashed (About 6 Bananas)
1/4 C. Crème Fraîche
-
2 tsp. Vanilla Paste
1 C. Walnuts, Coarsely Chopped
-
1/2 C. Cacao Nibs
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Butter 2 (9- by 5- by 3-inch) metal loaf pans, then dust with flour, knocking out excess.
Sift together 3 1/4 cups flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into a bowl.
Beat together eggs and sugar in bowl of electric mixer at medium-high speed until very thick and pale and mixture forms a ribbon when beater is lifted, about 10 minutes. Reduce speed to low and add oil in a slow stream, mixing, then mix in bananas, crème fraîche, and vanilla. Remove bowl from mixer and fold in flour mixture and nibs gently but thoroughly.
Divide batter between loaf pans, spreading evenly, and bake in middle of oven until golden brown and a wooden pick or skewer comes out clean, 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
Cool loaves in pans on a rack 10 minutes, then turn out onto rack. Turn loaves right side up and cool completely before slicing.
