My grandma's 1963 Good Housekeeping Cookbook is my cooking bible ... it has been since I received it as a wedding present. I have adapted my favorite banana bread recipe into a moist banana cake.
Nearly every woman in my family has received a copy of this cookbook ... not all got the 1963 version, though! I grew up with this cookbook, and I made my first banana bread recipe from this cookbook. Albeit, I am much better at it today than I was at age 11.
Every time I have a few bananas hanging around that are on their way to mushy, I pull out this trusty blue cookbook, turn to page 485, and make banana bread. This time, I made a banana cake ... and tweaked the recipe just a bit. I baked the banana cake in one of my Nordic Ware bundt pans and sprinkled crushed almonds on top. It was so good!
