Number Of Ingredients 17

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pans
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus 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 to 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:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. 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 sure if I did something wrong, but my cake didn't rise very much. It was still tasty, but it wasn't as fluffy as I would have liked.

I'm not a big fan of bourbon, but I still enjoyed this cake. The banana flavor was really strong and the cake was very moist.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake didn't turn out well. It was too dense and the flavor was bland.

This cake was a bit dry, but the flavor was still good. I think I would add some more butter or oil next time.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of banana cakes, but this one was really good. The bourbon flavor was subtle but it really added a nice depth of flavor.
