Here is my Grandmothers, I have never had better. It is actually a cake, it is very moist. I often save left over ripe bananas by freezing them in the peel. When I want to make a cake I pull them out.

Beat Butter, sugar and eggs in a mixing bowl. Add flour, baking powder, salt, and milk, baking soda mixture. Then add banana, and vanilla. Lastly add chopped pecans. Put cake into a cake pan (we always put it in a loaf pan, and it would take forever to cook)
Bake at 350 degrees.

When I was growing up as I said we put it in a loaf pan. However it takes forever to cook this way, and it is better in big cake pan--you know the rectangle 13x9 I think. It has a bit of a crunchy top from the sugars in the cake. Frost if you like, or serve it up as banana nut bread.
