What would make a pound cake even better? Bananas! Our banana pound cake recipe has mashed bananas whipped into the batter for an amazingly moist, delicious cake. It’s a simple recipe to make, but it’s definitely something special to serve. And to top things off, it has a confectioners’ sugar glaze. More, please!<\/p>\n
Grease a 10-inch fluted tube pan, then sprinkle it with 3 teaspoons of sugar. Set it aside.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 325\u00b0F. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and the remaining 3 cups of sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, five to seven minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the bananas and the extracts. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking soda, then add the dry mix to the creamed mixture a little at a time, alternating with the sour cream, beating until just combined.<\/p>\n Pour the mixture into the prepared pan (the pan will be full). Bake until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, 75 to 85 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, whisk the confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract and milk until smooth, then drizzle it over the\u00a0 cake. Store the cake in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n Store the cooled banana pound cake lightly covered in the refrigerator, where it will keep for three to five days.<\/p>\n Yes, this banana pound cake can be frozen for up to a month. Wrap it in two layers of plastic, then in foil, or wrap smaller portions the same way, taking out only what you might eat in a day or so. Thaw the cake in the refrigerator overnight, then on the counter for an hour or so to bring it to room temperature.<\/p>\n A tube pan is a baking pan that makes a ring-shaped cake. A bundt cake pan is one example, but not all tube pans are bundt cake pans. “Fluted” in the pan’s name (used in this recipe) means the sides and top have sculpted shapes, as you may have noticed on many bundt pans. The fluting makes the cake look a bit fancier, and it’s often used for bundt cakes and some pound cakes, while the straight tube pans are often required for cakes such as angel food cake.<\/p>\n Fluted tube pans come in all sorts of interesting designs, having features such as angled ridges that give the cake a twist shape, a somewhat floral design or even shapes reminiscent of art deco buildings. Any shape you have works for this recipe; just make sure it’s a 10-inch cake pan.<\/p>\n For a recipe for banana pound cake\u00a0done in a totally different way, try this contest-winning bananas and cream<\/a> pound cake, which has layers of bananas and cream. This banana coconut cake<\/a> is another contest-winning recipe, and it has a buttercream frosting<\/a>. Yum! This chocolate banana cream<\/a> cake recipe is another winner. Finally, this banana upside-down cake<\/a> is a must-try if you love bananas and nuts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This banana pound cake has mashed bananas mixed into the batter for a treat that’s moist, wonderful and tasty.

I even used King Arthur flour, but the flavor is way off. the banana is faint (which is okay) but i think they messed up the texture a tad bit. also, for some strange reason, it browned super fast on the outside of it. I normally dont like frosting on my pound cake, but i decided to try this glaze anyway. that was super horrible too! it tasted like the frosting you would make in easy bake oven kitchen. really disappointed in this cake and im really surprised at all the good reviews about this cake, and question if they have ever had a decent pound cake before. \"test kitchen approved\" my butt","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":1,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2024-05-30","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Cheryl2987"},"reviewBody":" This cake is the best. my whole family just loves it.....

I used 1 tsp. EACH salt and baking soda & I used about 1-1\/4 cup of ripe mashed bananas. I didn't put 3 Tbsp. of sugar in the cake pan. I also used a regular greased and floured 10\" angel-food type tube pan so that the batter wouldn't overflow in a fluted pan! I did keep the flour, butter & 3 cups sugar and eggs the same, but I'd cut the butter into the Tbsp. segments for easier creaming! I also kept the amount of extracts the same and the amount of sour cream the same! I baked the cake at 350o F., rather than at 325o F. I baked the cake for 70 minutes & tested cake with a cake tester to make sure that cake tester came out clean before cooling in pan 15 minutes! I ran a knife around the cake to loosen it from the pan and I cooled the cake for 15 minutes before easing it out of the pan! Before baking, I'd sprinkled about 2 Tbsp. cinnamon-sugar over the batter, then ran a knife through the batter to swirl it! The cake came out easily from the pan! I didn't glaze the cake! I admit that there are times that I prefer to leave a tube cake plain and other times, depending on the flavor and the recipe, I've iced a cake! I think this cake can be classified as a 5* rating!
