Banana bread has it all: it is moist, tender, and perfectly sweet.
Its probably one of the easiest baked goods it’s possible for you to make at home.
Plus, its a crowd-pleaser.
Mrs. Hockmeyer’s Banana Bread Recipe.Simply Recipes / Heidi Harring
Everyone likes banana bread.
Ive long wondered about this mysterious Mrs. Hockmeyer, so I asked Elise.
Her son and my brother were in private school together and we would carpool all the time.

It was really, really good, so she of course gave us the recipe.
That dates from, oh my god, the late 1960s.
But its largely the same as Mrs. Hockmeyers original.

Heidis family,who appearthroughout the Simply Recipesarchives, still make it today.
They came up with five unique banana breads (or cakes!)
that are still true to the original recipe.

She combined our recipe with a classic rum-based cocktail:the dark and stormy.
A layer of espresso cream cheese frosting doesnt hurt, either.
A magical glaze, a combination of caramelized white chocolate and sorghum, elevates the bake.
