How to Make A Different Banana Pound Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
3. In a bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas. Add 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar to the mashed bananas and mix well.
4. Add the mashed banana mixture to the melted butter in the skillet. Stir frequently until the bananas are soft and slightly caramelized (about 5-7 minutes).
5. Remove from heat and set aside to cool completely.
6. In a large bowl, cream together 2 large eggs and 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
7. Gradually add 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, beating until well combined.
8. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
9. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/2 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
10. Gently fold in the cooled caramelized bananas using a spatula.
11. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
12. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
