Smashed Banana Bread

At Dovecote Café in Baltimore, this banana bread is one of many awesome baked goods served on a daily basis. The recipe comes from owner Aisha Pew’s mother, Gilda Bain-Pew, and includes super-ripe bananas and a hit of banana liqueur (but it’s still quite good without the liqueur).

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder

  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda

  • 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 1/2 cups smashed very ripe banana

  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sour cream

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • 3/4 teaspoon banana liqueur or dark rum

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for serving

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
