Butter Pecan Banana Loaf Recipes

BANANA & PECAN LOAF

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease and line a 2lb/900g loaf tin with a long strip of baking parchment. To make the loaf cake batter, beat the butter and sugar with an electric whisk until light and fluffy. Add the bananas in a few chunks and beat in with the eggs, flour, almonds, baking powder and milk until smooth - the whisk will mash the bananas. Stir in the pecans, then scrape into the tin. Bake for 45-50 mins until golden, risen and a skewer poked in comes out clean. Cool in the tin, then lift out.
• Beat the butter, icing sugar and vanilla. Spread on top of the cooled cake and scatter with more chopped pecans

BUTTER PECAN LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Line the bottom of the pan with waxed or parchment paper. Butter the paper, then dust the sides and bottom with flour. Shake off any excess. Set aside.
• In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the pecans and cook, stirring, until the nuts are lightly toasted, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Drain the nuts in a strainer placed over a measuring cup, tossing to remove as much butter as possible. There should be about ½ cup of melted butter in the cup. If there isn't, add enough melted butter to measure ½ cup. Let the butter cool to room temperature and set aside. Coarsely chop the pecans and set aside.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl. In another mixing bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 30 seconds. Gradually add the sugar on medium-high speed and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
• Add the cream and beat to blend. Reduce the speed to low, add the flour mixture, and beat until just blended. Scrape down the sides of the bowl; add the cognac and the chopped pecans. Stir to blend. Fold in the melted butter and pour the batter into the pan.
• Bake until the cake is golden and the center springs back when touched, about 1½ hours. Cool the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it over onto a wire rack to cool completely.

BANANA BREAD ICE CREAM LOAF

Steps:

• For the brown butter banana bread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray the bottom and sides of a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter browns, 6 to 9 minutes. Immediately transfer to a medium bowl and let cool slightly.
• Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk the brown sugar, sour cream, vanilla and eggs into the bowl with the browned butter until combined, then stir in the mashed bananas. Fold the flour mixture into the banana mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined (some small lumps are ok).
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and lightly tap the pan on the counter to evenly distribute the batter. Top with the pecans. Bake until the loaf is browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out completely clean, about 1 hour. Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely. Wash and dry the loaf pan, then reserve for assembly.
• For the banana caramel sauce: Meanwhile, combine the granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the sugar turns a dark amber, 10 to 12 minutes. Working carefully (as the mixture will bubble up at this point), slowly whisk in the heavy cream until smooth. Stir in the butter and sliced bananas until thoroughly combined. Transfer to a large bowl, then let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
• For the assembly: To assemble, line the reserved loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving about a 4-inch overhang on the 2 longer sides. Carefully slice the cooled banana bread with a serrated knife horizontally into 3 even slices. Place the bottom slice into the bottom of the lined loaf pan, then cover with an even layer of 1 1/2 cups of the butter pecan ice cream. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the banana caramel sauce over the ice cream, then sprinkle with half of the pecans. Layer the middle slice of banana bread over the pecans, then cover with the remaining butter pecan ice cream, followed by another 1/3 cup banana caramel sauce and remaining pecans. Finish by placing the top layer of banana bread on top, then press down gently so all the layers adhere. Fold over the plastic wrap, then use another sheet of plastic wrap to cover the loaf pan completely. Freeze until completely firm, at least 6 hours and up to overnight. Refrigerate the remaining banana caramel sauce and reserve for serving.
• To serve, use the plastic overhang to lift the cake out of the pan. (Run the underside of the loaf pan under warm water if the cake sticks to the pan and is hard to remove.) Microwave the reserved banana caramel sauce in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until just warm, about 1 minute. Cut the ice cream loaf into 1-inch-thick slices, then drizzle with the warm banana caramel sauce.
