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 :)

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.

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup banana, mashed
1 (18 ounce) box yellow cake mix
1 (3 1/2 ounce) box instant vanilla pudding
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup water
4 eggs
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Mix together the mashed bananas, yellow cake mix, pudding mix, vegetable oil, 3/4 cup water, and the eggs. Mix well.
  • Pour into a bundt pan (that has been sprayed generously with non-stick cooking spray.).
  • Bake for 1 hour.
  • Meawhile, in a saucepan, melt the butter, then add 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water.
  • When the cake is removed from the oven, pour the sauce on over slowly (with the cake STILL in the pan).
  • Let sit at least 20 minutes to absorb the sauce.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Banana pound cake is a classic dessert that is always a hit with family and friends. It is moist, flavorful, and has a delicious banana flavor. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect banana pound cake every time.
