			2 cup sugar 8 tablespoons butter, at room temperature 4 eggs, at room temperature 2 cup mashed banana 1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature 2 teaspoon vanilla 3 cups all-purpose flour 3 teaspoons baking soda 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon salt 2 Pinch ground cloves
			MAKES 2 LOAFS - Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl between additions. Combine the banana, buttermilk and vanilla in a bowl. Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and cloves in a second bowl. Add half of the flour mixture to the butter mixture and paddle just to combine. Scrape down the sides and then add the buttermilk and banana mixture. Scrape down again, and add the remaining flour until just combined uniformly. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake on the center rack until a toothpick inserted in the loaf comes out clean, 50 minutes to an hour, depending on your oven. Let cool for about 10 minutes, then remove from the pan to cool completely.
