How to Make Banana Bread From Africa

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in 2 large egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas. Add mashed bananas, ½ cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until just combined.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. In a clean bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The bread should be golden brown.
8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
