2 C. very ripe, banana puree, (about 6 bananas)

2 C. dark brown sugar, firmly packed

1/2 C. oil

4 eggs

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

2 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp cloves

2 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

3/8 tsp salt

3 1/4 C. all-purpose flour

1 C. coca cola beverage (or coffee)

1 C. shredded semi-sweet chocolate, optional

1 C. chopped walnuts, optional

Preheat oven to 300 F. Spray two 9 by 5 inch loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray. In a food processor (you can also mix by hand in a mixing bowl), puree the bananas and set aside. Without cleaning the work bowl, blend the sugars, oil, eggs, and vanilla for a minute. Add in the dry ingredients and bananas and blend, pouring in the coca cola as mixture is blending together. Blend in the processor until smooth, about 1 minute. Spoon into the prepared loaf pans and set the pans on the baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes, or until cakes tests done. Make two loaves

This banana loaf is deep in colour and has a beautiful crumb. Slow baking is the secret to this one-of-a-kind loaf. This makes two large loaves. Oil makes this perfect, but you can use melted unsalted butter if you prefer. These keep well or freeze.
