KOHALA COAST, HAWAII The Kona Inn was the first hotel in Kona, and this is its famous banana bread recipe.
3 KONA INN BANANA BREAD 2 cups granulated sugar 1 cup softened butter (not margarine) 6 ripe bananas, mashed (approximately 3 cups) 4 eggs, well beaten 2 ½ cups cake flour 2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. With an electric beater, cream together the sugar and butter until it’s light and fluffy. Add the bananas and eggs, beating until well mixed. Sift together the dry ingredients two times, then mix the dry ingredients with the banana mixture until just blended; don’t overmix. Pour into two lightly greased loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to one hour, until the loaf is firm in the center and the edges begin to come away from the pan. Cool the pans on a rack for 10 minutes and then remove the bread from the pans.
