Bread (Dessert) - Banana: Banana Lemon Loaf

A little about categorizing bread. Our system is not scientific by a long shot. We've placed them into table, flat, dessert, and fried. Table bread may include loaves of sandwich-type bread or something designed to serve as a loaf or dinner bun at the table. Flat is generally un-yeasted bread that is flat (duh!). Fried can be pan-fried or deep-fried. Dessert is for delectables such as banana bread. The words dressing and stuffing are interchangeable, depending where you live. Many will contain bread, others may not. This is dizzying.

2-3 very ripe bananas, mashed
2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup milk
Juice of 1 lemon (2 tablespoons juice)
Frosting
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
juice of 1 lemon
1 Tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In the bowl of your electric mixer, beat together the banana, sugar and eggs until smooth. Add the vegetable oil, milk, and lemon juice and beat until smooth. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. To make the glaze, Whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice and butter until very thick and white. Spread this lemon juice frosting over the top of the cooled loaf.
