This recipe is a family favorite. It is great for using overripe bananas. I usually double the recipe and make two loaves. You can also add walnuts if you wish. Note: When your bananas are overripe, you can put them in the freezer until you are ready to use them.

BANANA BLISS

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large bananas
1/2 cup pecans, halved or chopped
1/2 cup water
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup lightly packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons banana liqueur
2 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur
1 tablespoon Cognac
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
Vanilla ice cream
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground anise seed

Steps:

Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl.
Peel the bananas and cut them into diagonal slices about 1/2-inch thick. Set aside. In a small nonstick skillet over medium heat, roast the pecans, stirring constantly, until they begin to darken and give off a rich toasted aroma. Remove from the heat and set aside. In a 10-inch skillet whisk together the water, butter, and sugar. When the butter melts, add the seasoning mix and bring to a boil, whisking frequently. Whisk in the remaining ingredients, then add the reserved bananas and pecans. Combine to cook, stirring gently, for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Tips:

Use ripe bananas: Ripeness not only brings out a stronger flavor but also makes the bananas easier to mash, ensuring a smooth batter.

Measure the flour accurately: Too much or too little flour can alter the cake's texture. Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements or spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife.

Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy: This helps incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.

Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, leading to a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.

Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking can dry out the cake.

Conclusion:

With its moist, fluffy texture, sweet banana flavor, and nutty streusel topping, this Banana Bliss Cake is a delightful treat that's perfect for any occasion. Following these tips will help you achieve a perfectly baked cake that will satisfy your sweet cravings. So gather your ingredients, put on your apron, and let's embark on a blissful baking journey!
