How to Make A Different Banana Pound Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
- In a bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas. Add 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar to the mashed bananas and mix well.
- 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).
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, cream together 2 large eggs and 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, beating until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
- 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.
- Gently fold in the cooled caramelized bananas using a spatula.
- 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.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
