1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1. Preheat oven to 175 Celsius. Line 2 loaf bread pan with wax paper to remove it easily from the pan.

3. Sift all the dry ingredients together. Add flour mixture to the butter mixture. Mix just until combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.
4. Bake for 50-60 minutes. Test with a knife or a toothpick. f it comes out clean, then it's done.
5. Cool on a wirerack.
6. To make the cream cheese icing, beat the softened cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer. Beat until creamy then add icing sugar. You can choose to serve a slice of the banana cake dabbed with cream cheese icing or you can spread the icing on the cake before slicing.
