Wednesday's Chow - Chocolate Banana Bread

ooops.  I missed last week's posting.  Sorry about that.  Here's an easy bread recipe I got off an old post card. I don't know how old, there's not 'printed on date,' but I found the card in an antique shop. Of course, it could just look old....and not really be!  LOL. At any rate, from the design, I'd say the 40's  or 50's.

CHOCOLATE BANANA BREAD

Ingredients:

1 cup butter, softened
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
6 bananas, mashed
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup light sour cream
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease to 9 x 5 loaf pans.

In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugar and eggs. Stir in bananas and vanilla. Sift in flour, baking soda and cocoa. Mix well. Blend in sour cream and chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared pans.

Bake in oven for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
