Description

Incredibly moist and flavorful pound cake that you’ll go bananas for, literally!


Ingredients

Cake:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 (3.4 ounce) package banana cream instant pudding mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 medium bananas, mashed (about 1 and 1/3 cup)

Icing:

  • 1 and 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease and flour a round tube cake pan (10-12 cup capacity) and set aside.
  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until well incorporated. With the mixer on low speed, slowly beat in the milk and vanilla until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, dry pudding mix, baking powder and salt. Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients in the mixing bowl, one cup at a time, until just combined. Stir in the mashed bananas until evenly distributed.
  4. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 60-75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pan 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. For the icing, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth and of drizzling consistency. Add more powdered sugar if too thin or more milk if too thick.
  6. Transfer cake to a cake stand or serving platter and drizzle with icing. Garnish with more banana slices just before serving, if desired.
