- 1 1/3 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, I used a DF, room temp
- 2 eggs

====================
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray baking spray in 2 8" round cake pans. In a mixing bowl mix the sugar and eggs for a couple minutes, add your bananas, butter, vanilla. Then add the flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder. Fold in your pecans. Bake until the toothpick comes out clean approx 25 minutes. Tops will be lightly browned. Cool completely.
