For longer storage, I like to slice the cooled loaf and freeze it, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and then foil. You can microwave a frozen slice of banana bread for approximately 30 seconds to defrost it.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1720145291898\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can you make this banana bread without baking soda?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">I tested this chocolate banana bread with just baking powder and also with a combination of <a href=\"https:\/\/bakeschool.com\/what-is-baking-powder\/\">baking powder<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bakeschool.com\/focus-on-baking-soda\/\">baking soda<\/a>. Both versions worked well, but I found the loaf cake baked with both <a href=\"https:\/\/bakeschool.com\/leavening-agents-in-baking\/\">leavening agents<\/a> had a better texture and rose taller, without collapsing.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1720145418668\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do I need to flour my loaf cake pan?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">To prepare a loaf pan before baking a cake, if the pan has a non-stick finish like <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"8.5x4.5 in loaf pan\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3JgHr4w\" data-linkid=\"31820\" data-shortcode=\"true\">the loaf pan I use<\/a>, I prefer to butter it and line the bottom with parchment paper. If the pan is a regular light-coloured aluminum pan, you may want to also flour the sides of the loaf pan to ensure the cake unmoulds easily and cleanly after baking. Alternatively, you could line the pan with parchment paper sling that is large enough to cover the sides and bottom of the pan.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1720216180315\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use frozen bananas to make banana bread?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You can definitely use frozen bananas to make banana bread. Simply defrost them overnight in the refrigerator. If any liquid separates from the fruit, you can place the water in a saucepan and cook it down to form a concentrated syrup and add that to your banana bread along with the mashed banana.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"other-loaf-cakes-to-try\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\" >Other Loaf Cakes to Try<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>Looking for other easy cake recipes baked in a loaf pan like this?
