Time 4h

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
½ cup vegetable shortening
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
4 ripe bananas, mashed
5 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup milk
1 cup chopped pecans
½ cup butter
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Set aside. Grease and flour a fluted tube pan.
  • Beat 1 cup of butter, shortening, 2 cups of brown sugar, and 1 cup of white sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add the bananas, followed by the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract with the last egg. Pour in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing until just incorporated. Fold in the pecans; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour the batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. Heat 1/2 cup of butter, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of white sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugars have dissolved, then gently simmer for 1 minute. Pour over baked cake while still in the pan. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

BANANA POUND CAKE



Banana Pound Cake image

After a whole lot of research, I found just what I was looking for: a decadent, rich, and sinful cake with the amazing flavors of the ever so inviting banana. I found it on the Taste Of Home Website and I couldn't be more thankful that I did. The Recipe originally called for a simple powdered sugar glaze, but being me, I decided to take it to the next level by glazing it with my "French Vanilla Cream Cheese Glaze." Look on my other recipes if you wish to find the recipe for it :)

BANANA LOAF CAKE I



Banana Loaf Cake I image

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.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be. Look for bananas that are yellow with brown spots.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Mash the bananas with a fork before adding them to the batter: This will help to distribute the bananas evenly throughout the cake.
  • Fold in the dry ingredients gradually: This will help to prevent the batter from becoming tough.
  • Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes: Or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Banana pound cake is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make a moist and flavorful banana pound cake that will be a hit at your next party or gathering.
