This Sunday was a Caribbean-themed potluck at church. I made this recipe as a dessert.

Jamaican Banana Bread
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup mashed overripe bananas
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon rum flavoring
1/2 teaspoon lime zest
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup pecans
1/4 cup flaked coconut

-Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9x5 loaf pan.
-Cream together butter and cheese; slowly add sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg, banana, milk, rum, zest, and juice.
-In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-In 3 parts, add the dry ingredients to wet and stir until just combined. Stir in pecans and coconut.
-Pour into loaf pan and cook for about 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack until fully cooled.
