How to Make Banana Pound Cake With A Caramel Glaze
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup vegetable shortening, 1 3/4 cups packed light brown sugar, and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 5-7 minutes).
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 cup buttermilk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients alternately to the creamed mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in 2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium), and 1 cup chopped pecans.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60-65 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.
- While the cake cools, prepare the caramel glaze: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup heavy cream.
- Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Let the glaze cool slightly until it thickens enough to drizzle. Drizzle over the completely cooled cake.
