BANANA POUND CAKE
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 :)

BANANAS FOSTER POUNDCAKE
Named after a customer at Brennan's restaurant in New Orleans, bananas Foster is traditionally served over vanilla ice cream or over pound cake. But what if we told you that you could have your bananas Foster baked into cake and glazed with that same sauce? This slightly dense, buttery cake is delicious warm, and super moist. Take care when flambéing - keep a lid nearby to smother any flames - or skip it altogether: Bypass adding the alcohol in Step 3 and simply reduce the sauce on the stovetop. And don't forget to add that scoop of ice cream and a dollop of fresh whipped cream. You'll thank us later.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325 degrees and generously coat a 10-inch/12-cup Bundt cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Make the bananas Foster filling: Peel the bananas and cut them crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. Melt butter in a medium (10-inch) skillet over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon, then add the sliced bananas. Cook, stirring occasionally, until a sugary syrup forms, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Turn off the flame (or if using an electric stove, pull the skillet off the heat) and add the liquor, if using. Return pan to the heat and, if using a gas stove, slightly tilt the pan near the flame to flambé. (If using an electric stove, light the liquid with a long-reach lighter.) Let the flames die down, swirling the pan until the alcohol burns off. Reduce heat to low and stir briefly with a wooden spoon. (Alternatively, skip adding the alcohol, add buttermilk and cook sauce just until the liquid reduces slightly.) Strain liquid from bananas into a medium bowl to separate bananas and sauce; set both aside.
- Make the cake: In a stand mixer or with a hand-held mixer on medium speed, cream together granulated sugar and butter until light and fluffy, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Sift the flour into a medium bowl. In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, mix together the sour cream and buttermilk.
- Once the butter is creamed, add 1 egg at a time and mix until each is fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.
- Add half the flour and mix on low speed until fully incorporated. With the mixer running, add the buttermilk mixture in a slow, steady stream and mix until fully incorporated. Add the remaining flour and mix.
- Once fully combined, add the vanilla and mix to incorporate. By hand, fold in strained bananas.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth evenly. Bake for 65 to 80 minutes, until a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean.
- While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: Sift the confectioners' sugar into the bowl with the reserved banana sauce and whisk to combine. If the glaze is too thick, thin with water (or buttermilk), 1 tablespoon at a time, until it's smooth, drizzles easily and coats the back of a wooden spoon.
- Once cake has cooled, invert it onto a large serving plate, and spoon the glaze over. Slice the cake and serve with ice cream or whipped cream and candied pralines, if desired.
Tips:
- Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture in your cake.
- Mash the bananas thoroughly before adding them to the batter. Any lumps of banana can make the cake dense.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a tender cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Stir in the dry ingredients gradually, mixing until just combined. Overmixing can toughen the cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
Bananas cream pound cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist texture, sweet banana flavor, and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try.
