The most searched recipe in 2014 was “Banana bread”. I don’t really know why it is called “bread” though, in my mind it is more suitable to call it Banana cake. It is really difficult to find the best recipe online for moist banana cake since there are so many that claim to be the best ever.
The creation of this recipe happened like in most other cases, it started out from those recipes that sounded most promising and then changing the quantities and the instructions to the better 🙂 It was created by my wife Lilian and is now one of our absolute favorite cakes. I think the flavors also work great now in times of Christmas!
Here you can find this recipe in swedish.
