Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with baking spray with flour.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar with a mixer at medium speed until fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add banana, beating to combine.
In a medium bowl, whisk together Swans Down® Cake Flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture, beating just until combined after each addition. Stir in walnuts. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan, and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Makes 1 (9×5-inch) loaf
I will not be using any other kind of flour again! This made the most beautiful waffles I have ever had. My family loved them and we ended up having them two days in a row! Stocking up on this now!
Can you use pecans instead of walnuts
Hi Sandra, You can most certainly use pecans instead of walnuts in this recipe. Happy baking!
I would not think of making a pound cake without swans down cake flour. It just gives the perfect texture. I’ve been using it for over 20 years. Passed down to me from my mother and aunt. However, it never occurred to me to make bread or cookies. I would love recipes to make many different goods with swans down.
Hi Judy, We’ve asked our Consumer Relations Department to get a variety of recipes out in the mail to you. Happy Baking!
I made this banana bread and added 1cup of crushed walnuts and 1 tsp Watkins Banana Extract and a dash of Watkins Vanilla Extract. REALLY GREAT! This is a keeper recipe!!! Thanks!

Always love to bake with Swans Down cake flour and banana bread is great.
A trick my older sister taught me is to sprinkle cinnamon auger or brown sugar in pan . I do a little of both.
Some folks might like to add a half tsp of cinnamon and 1/4 tsp nutmeg as well as 1 tsp of vanilla for added flavor. I used light brown sugar and it was delicious!
