This is dark, rich and moist. It is sweet and flavorful and I am told unlike any other people have tasted. Some liken it Mimi's Cafe, but say it is better. My mother, Belen, who passed away at the age of 100 had been making this for as long as I can remember. Please follow the instructions regarding putting the vinegar in the milk in one cup and the baking soda in warm water in another before mixing it with other ingredients. It makes a difference.

    This looks like my Mom's Banana Bread recipe that I have lost (boohoo!!) and been trying to replicate! The only difference I see is that we always added the dissolved baking soda to the mashed bananas and stirred it up (careful, it will foam up!). Then we added the banana mixture to the sugar/butter/egg/sour milk (milk w/vinegar) mixture alternately with the sifted flour. As with all creamed cakes, begin and end with the dry ingredient/s. While I haven't made this recipe yet, I can tell just by reading it that it is worth 5 stars! For a change, try using sour cream as a replacement for the milk/vinegar. Thanks so much!
