3/4 cup butter softened
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese
2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 4 medium)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Orange Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
3 Tbsp orange juice
1 tsp grated orange peel
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add bananas and vanilla, mix well. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture.
Transfer to 2 greased 8x4x2 inch loaf pans. Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.
In a small bowl, whisk the glaze ingredients; drizzle over loaves. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
