I have looked high and low for a moist banana bread/cake recipe for years. I have tried a few which always promise to be moist but the results are varied. In fact, I still have those recipes, there is the Simple Banana Bread, the Banana Loaf, the Banana Cake and the aptly titled Moist Banana Cake. Eventually, I will link to these recipes when I post them. I stumbled upon this recipe whilst on Pinterest and thought I would give it a try. I could not give up my quest to find a moist banana bread, I thought. This Banana Bread recipe is the best moist banana bread that I have made to date. Does it mean that the search is over? Never, enjoy!
