  • Put the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium-sized bowl and, using your hands or a wooden spoon, combine well.
  • In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, sour cream (or plain yogurt) and sugar by hand, with a wooden spoon. Beat until blended, then add the eggs one at a time. Mix well.
  • Stir in the mashed bananas, walnuts, dark rum and vanilla extract.
  • Add the flour mixture, a third at a time, stirring well with the wooden spoon after each batch. Transfer the batter into a 9x5-inch (23cm x 12cm) loaf tin and bake in the middle of the oven for 60 - 75 minutes.
  • Insert a toothpick, fine skewer or a cake tester in the center of the banana bread. It should come out clean. Leave in the tin on a rack to cool, about 30 minutes.
  • Slice to ten (10) pieces, serve warm.
