Classic Banana Bread recipe by - Devondale Farmer Carol Haw. "My husband and I bought our farm in 1984. It’s a very special and beautiful place with our home being 108 years old. Our three grown up kids all love our farm and even though we never managed holidays, wouldn’t change where they grew up"

Ingredients

1/2 cup Devondale Light Sour Cream
2 tsp bicarbonate soda
250g softened Devondale Unsalted Butter

2 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp salt
