{"0":"1. Preheat oven to 350.","2":"2. Generously butter two loaf pans and sprinkle with sesame seeds (they'll stick to the batter).","4":"3. Beat together sugar and butter. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Add extracts and orange rind and beat until light in color.","6":"4. Sift flours, salt, soda, baking powder, and spices together twice.","8":"5. Puree bananas and black coffee together.","10":"6. Add flour mixture and pureed bananas alternately to butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour (flour - banana - flour - banana - flour). After each addition mix gently to combine, but do not beat or otherwise overmix - this toughens and dries a cake. Add nuts at end, if desired.","12":"7. Divide batter between pans and bake 40-50 minutes. Cool 10 minutes in the pan, then remove to finish cooling."}
