BANANA NUT POUND CAKE
I used a basic recipe from "Cooking for the Children's Miracle Network" cookbook and doctored it up a bit. It turned out great. Cookbooks are available from JAP member:tiffani ross [tiffani29] I made this cake again tonight and added a cup of chunky peanut butter in place of the pecans. I had to bake it about 10 minutes longer...

Ingredients: 2 tablespoons of margarine 1 cup of brown sugar (packed) 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup milk 1 teaspoon pure or 1 tablespoon imitation vanilla flavoring 1 and 1/2 cups of powdered sugar Melt butter and brown sugar in a small sauce pan until sugar is dissolved. Add milk and salt, cook for 3 minutes stirring constantly. Remove from burner and allow to cool. add vanilla and powdered sugar and beat for two minutes with mixer on low speed. Allow caramel icing to cool in refrigerator until it stiffens up somewhat. Ice cake after it has cooled down.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pound cake will be.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Use a bundt pan for a classic pound cake shape. If you don't have a bundt pan, you can also use a loaf pan.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before glazing. This will help the glaze set properly.
