How to Make Banana Bourbon Cake With Bourbon Creme Anglaise

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash bananas until smooth. Add eggs, sugar, melted butter, bourbon, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  7. **For the Bourbon Crème Anglaise:**
  8. In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch.
  9. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and bourbon.
  10. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes).
  11. Remove from heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.
  12. Let cool completely, stirring occasionally, before pouring over the cooled cake.
