March 4th is National Pound Cake Day, and we have a special treat: a Banana Pound Cake recipe. Pound cake is one of our favorite cakes, as is banana cake. Put them together and it’s a lovely marriage. The recipe was created by By Chef Eddy Van Damme, affectionately known as the “Prince of Pastry”. Chef Eddy is a world-renowned chef, instructor, TV host and author. Thanks to Imperial Sugar for the recipe. See all of their splendid recipes here. > Check below for more about Imperial Sugar. > The history of banana bread. > The different types of cake: a photo glossary. Make this cake in a 9- or 10-inch tube or Bundt pan. Prep time is 20 minutes, and bake time is 2 hours. †Use the Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill the measuring cup with flour until the required amount is obtained. Scooping a measuring cup directly into a bag of flour will firmly pack the flour. This results in in too much flour for recipe. You can substitute cake flour for a finer crumb.
________________ 1. PREHEAT the oven to 325°F. Butter and flour a 9- or 10-inch tube or Bundt pan. Set aside. Using a stand or hand mixer… 2. CREAM the butter until light and fluffy. Add the sugar and mix to combine. 3. ADD the eggs one at a time, waiting for the previously added egg to be fully incorporated. Scrape the bowl often. Whip until mixture is light and fluffy. Add the vanilla. 4. SIFT together the flour, baking powder, and salt. At low speed, add the dry ingredients alternately with banana purée to the butter and egg mixture. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. 5. PLACE the pan in the oven and bake until the center of cake bounces back when lightly pressed with a finger, or a toothpick comes out clean. Test at 65 minutes. Depending on your oven and the size of the pan, some ovens may take 65-70 minutes, others 90-120 minutes. 6. REMOVE the cake and let it sit in the pan for 15 minutes before removing. Imperial Sugar, established in 1843, is a major U.S. sugar producer based in Sugar Land, Texas.
