Time 50m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 tablespoons butter, room temperature (more for pans)
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (more for pans)
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs, separated
2 -3 ripe bananas, enough to make 1 cup mashed
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup sour cream
3 bananas, not too ripe
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
3/4 cup Bourbon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F If not using silpat, grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. In a bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • Cream together butter and sugar. Add egg yolks one at a time. In another bowl, mash bananas, and combine with buttermilk and vanilla. Add alternately to butter mixture with flour mixture, beginning and ending with flour.
  • Beat egg whites until stiff; fold into batter.
  • Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in pans for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
  • When cake layers are cool, whip cream with confectioners' sugar until stiff. Fold in sour cream. Place a cake layer on a plate, and spread with filling to within 1 inch of edge. Place other layer on top, and press down lightly. Chill for 1 hour.
  • Slice bananas 1/2 inch thick. Melt butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. When it sizzles, add slices in a single layer. Sprinkle with sugar. When golden brown, turn slices; cook until brown on other side.
  • Carefully pour in bourbon (using a measuring cup, never the bottle) and ignite with a match. Cook until flames die down, shaking the pan to toss bananas in syrup. Remove from heat.
  • Arrange banana slices on top of cake. Pour remaining syrup over cake, letting it drip down sides. Serve immediately.

I'm not a big fan of banana cake, but this one was really good. The bourbon flavor was subtle but noticeable.

The cake was easy to make and turned out great! I used a bundt pan instead of a layer cake pan and it worked out perfectly. The cake was moist and flavorful.
