“I have a bone to pick with all of the banana “breads” of the world. Can we please stop lying to ourselves and acknowledge that banana bread is really just banana cake?? And that explains why when it’s good, it’s SO good. The only bread-like thing about it is that it’s even more delicious when toasted and slathered in butter. End rant. This banana cake is jam-packed with banana flavor, thanks to the four whole bananas inside it and a fifth banana chillin’ on top. It is rich and moist, due to the addition of labneh, which, if you’ve never baked with it before, is a real treat. You could, of course, substitute sour cream or whole-milk Greek yogurt in a pinch, but I encourage you to use labneh, if you can find it. This is a dump-and-stir kinda cake because that’s the kinda cake I’m most likely to bake.”
