MY FAVORITE GLAZED BANANA CAKE

My Favorite Glazed Banana Cake image

I've searched high and low for the perfect banana cake; well, I think I've found it! This is moist and delicious, easy to make, and the perfect way to use up the oldest, blackest bananas you can find. The glaze topping is a nice change from the typical cream cheese icing, because it's not overpowering--it really allows the full flavor of the banana cake to shine through. Use your choice of ground walnuts or ground pecans in this cake--I've tried both, and either one works fine. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do !! I think it's just fantastic!! (Chris says it reminds him of Entemann's banana cake, only better! How's that for a compliment!) Number of servings depends on how big you make your slices.

Time 4h

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

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.

Tips:

Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be.
Mash the bananas well. This will help to ensure that the bananas are evenly distributed throughout the cake batter.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely before glazing it. This will help to prevent the glaze from running off the cake.
