Banana Bread

1 cup sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 large eggs
3 ripe bananas
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
Cream the sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
In a small bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Mix in the milk and cinnamon. In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Add the banana mixture to the creamed mixture and stir until combined. Add dry ingredients mixing just until the flour disappears.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 1 hour to 1 hour, 10 minutes; a toothpick inserted should come out clean. Set aside to cook on a rack for 15 minutes. Remove bread from pan, invert onto rack and cool completely before slicing.
Serve with honey.
