Yield: 8 Servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound Butter at room temperature
- 1 pound Margarine at room temperature
- 2 pounds + 13 ounces Granulated Sugar
- 7 large Eggs or 16 ounces Liquid Eggs
- 1 pound + 11 ounces All-Purpose Flour
- 1 pound Milk
- 1 1/2 ounces Vanilla Extract
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 2 Bananas peeled and sliced length-wise, 1/4-inch thick
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
- Hot Fudge Sauce warmed, to serve
- Powdered Sugar to serve
- Vanilla Ice Cream to serve
- Dark Chocolate Pieces or Curls to serve
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Add 1/2 pound butter, margarine and 2 pounds + 13 ounces granulated sugar to a large mixing bowl.
- Using a mixer, cream mixture together until soft and light (about 8 minutes on speed 2). Scrape bottom and sides often.
- Still on Speed 2, with mixer running, very slowly add eggs slowly, about 1 egg at a time or 1/2 cup at a time, if using liquid eggs. Be sure eggs are completely incorporated and smooth after each addition.
- Switch to Speed 1. In 3 additions alternately add milk and flour mixing and scraping after each addition until incorporated. You should end with flour. Batter should be smooth and emulsified (not separated).
- Still on Speed 2, with mixer running, add in the vanilla.
- Scrape bowl and mix until smooth.
- Spray a 1-quart loaf pan with non-stick spray. Coat with flour , tapping pan upside down to remove any excess flour.
- Pour prepared batter into prepared pan, filling 3/4 full.
- Place pan in preheated oven on the middle rack. Bake for 1 hour.
- To test doneness, insert a wooden skewer in the middle of cake. When done skewer should come out dry.
- When done, remove from oven and cool on a rack.
- Pour 2 tablespoons granulated sugar onto a plate.
- Place banana slices into sugar and turn until coated.
- Place 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet.
- Place skillet over medium heat.
- When butter is melted and hot, add suger-coated banana slices, just as many as will fit flat on the bottom of the skillet. Do not crowd or stack.
- Sprinkle brown sugar over slices.
- Cook until golden and syrupy, turning to cook other sides, about 5 minutes.
- Remove to a plate that has been sprayed with non-stick spray.
- Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter and brown sugar, if needed, until all are cooked.
- Remove pan from heat.
- Sprinkle bananas evenly with cinnamon.
- Place a slice of pound cake on a serving plate slightly off to one side (See photo above for how this and remaining plating steps should look).
- Add 3 slices caramelized bananas beside slice onto open plate.
- Drizzle with a bit of the sauce remaining in the cooking pan, if desired.
- Drizzle hot fudge sauce over all.
- Dust a bit of powdered sugar beside slice.
- Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream atop pound cake slice.
- Top ice cream with chocolate pieces or curls.
- Serve.
