Recipe : Banana Cake with Caramel Icing

  8:00:00 PM    

Hi I made this last night to use up some bananas- from pieces of three different recipes- it turned out so good it's my new favorite dessert. Would be great for a party- makes a big pan.

Because banana cake mix is too exotic for this part of the world, I had to make this cake from scratch. Most of the time, I'm lucky to find regular vanilla or chocolate cake mix! Thanks for helping to make my yesterday's dinner party a huge success.

I made this for company yesterday and I 'd honestly have to say that it was the best banana cake I have ever had. I loved the moist, delicate texture along with the slightly rich flavor. One of my American guests from Indiana must have gained 5 pounds from your cake (lol)!

2 large very ripe bananas, mashed
1 (18.25 ounce) package banana cake mix
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter ..  softened
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup coconut (optional).
1 cup chopped pecans.

Sift flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda together and combine, being sure to mix well. Add bananas, softened butter, buttermilk, eggs, vanilla and butter extracts. Bake in the pre heated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until center of cake springs back when lightly tapped.

In a large bowl, combine cake mix and baking soda. Add bananas, softened butter, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla.

Add coconut and pecans. And pour into prepared pan. Bake in the pre heated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until center of cake springs back when lightly tapped.

Poke holes in cake and pour some on while still hot. Continue to cool the rest and when cool and thickened, spread it on top of cake.

Caramel Icing.
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar.
3/4 cup packed brown sugar.
1 cup evaporated milk.
1/2 cup butter.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9 x 13-inch pan.

Cookin' Dad Scratch Version.
2 large very ripe bananas, mashed.
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour.
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar (used less sugar.
because glaze is very sweet).
1 tablespoon baking powder.
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons shortening.
1 teaspoon baking soda.
1/2 cup butter, softened.
3 eggs.
3/4 cup buttermilk.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
1 teaspoon butter extract (couldn't find banana extract).

Mash bananas with a fork, set aside.

Notes: okay to use regular milk instead of buttermilk. I cooked icing for about 10-12 minutes on high, it looked separated until beaten. It doesn't have to be exact-it makes a caramel glaze type frosting.
