Easy Banana Bread

This recipe came from "The Pastors Wives Cookbook" ©1978.  It is good and the Professor likes it.  I wanted it to taste like the Amish Banana Walnut Bread I bought at the Gibson General Store and it doesn't.  It isn't as moist and not as sweet.  I was wondering if the Amish made it with a starter.  I could make this again but will be looking for the perfect banana bread I tasted before.

Easy Banana Bread

1 cup sugar

½ cup butter or margarine (I used butter)

2 eggs, unbeaten

1½ cups bananas, mashed

1Tablespoonful lemon juice (I used the ReaLemon)

2 cups flour

3 teaspoonsful baking powder

½ teaspoonful salt

1 cup nuts, chopped (I used English walnuts)

1 teaspoonful vanilla

Cream sugar with butter, add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in bananas and lemon juice. Sift flour with baking powder and salt; add and mix quickly. Stir in nuts. Bake in greased 9"x5"x3" loaf pan at 350° for about an hour until done when tested. Cool on rack.
