The World's Best Rich Banana Bread

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), and butter a loaf pan.

In a mixing bowl, cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.

Next, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

In separate bowl, mash the bananas with a fork then mix in the milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.

In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Add the banana mixture to the creamed mixture and stir until combined. Add dry ingredients, mixing just until flour disappears.

Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 1 hour. Let bread sit in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
