How to Make Bananas Foster Coffee Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
- Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with 1/4 cup banana liqueur.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and the banana mixture to the wet ingredients alternately, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in 1 cup shredded coconut and 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the cake browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Bananas Foster Glaze:** In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup banana liqueur, and 1/4 cup heavy cream. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
- Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the Bananas Foster glaze over the top. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
