Butter Rum Banana Cake Recipes

CARAMELIZED BANANA WITH RUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté banana, cut sides down, shaking skillet, 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat (away from flame) and sprinkle brown sugar around banana, then pour rum around banana. Return skillet to heat and continue to sauté, shaking skillet occasionally, until sugar begins to melt, about 30 seconds.
• Add water, nutmeg, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt and cook over moderate heat, shaking skillet occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Serve banana hot, sprinkled with nuts.

BANANAS IN BROWN SUGAR AND RUM

Steps:

• Peel bananas, and carefully cut in half lengthwise.
• In a medium saute pan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and swirl until dissolved.
• Add 2 bananas, cut side down, and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, turning very carefully.
• Pouring from a measuring cup, with the pan off the heat, add 1/4 cup rum. Stand back from stove, and return pan to heat. Shake the pan, allowing rum to ignite. Let the alcohol burn off, and again shake the pan, to coat the bananas. Cook until glazed and translucent, about 1 minute longer.
• Remove bananas to warm plates, divide sauce between them, and repeat with remaining 2 bananas.
• Garnish each banana with a little dab of creme fraiche or sour cream, and serve immediately.

MOIST BANANA BREAD (RUM BANANA BREAD)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Mash the bananas using the back of the spoon or a masher, until mushy.
• Put the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium-sized bowl and, using your hands or a wooden spoon, combine well.
• In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, sour cream (or plain yogurt) and sugar by hand, with a wooden spoon. Beat until blended, then add the eggs one at a time. Mix well.
• Stir in the mashed bananas, walnuts, dark rum and vanilla extract.
• Add the flour mixture, a third at a time, stirring well with the wooden spoon after each batch. Transfer the batter into a 9x5-inch loaf tin and bake in the middle of the oven for 60 - 75 minutes.
• Insert a toothpick, fine skewer or a cake tester in the center of the banana bread. It should come out clean. Leave in the tin on a rack to cool, about 30 minutes.
• Slice to ten (10) pieces, serve warm.

RUM CAKE

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan. Sprinkle nuts over bottom of pan. Mix remaining ingredients together. Pour batter over nuts. Bake for 1 hour. Cool.
• Invert on service plate. Prick top with fork or toothpick. Drizzle and smooth glaze evenly over top and sides. Allow cake to absorb glaze. Use all the glaze.

BANANA & RUM CARAMEL CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350oF, grease and line a deep 9-inch cake tin.
• In a large bowl, cream the butter and light brown sugar together until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time until well mixed. Stir in the mashed banana and yoghurt. Add the flour, salt and baking powder to the bowl and stir together until just combined. Pour into the prepared cake tin and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
• Caramel:.
• Place the heavy cream and butter in a small pot over a low heat so that the butter melts and the cream starts to steam.
• Meanwhile heat the sugar in a light-coloured pan over a medium heat. Once the sugar starts to melt start to tilt and swirl the pan so that the sugar mixes with the melted caramel and evenly melts. Once the sugar has all melted and has turned from light yellow to amber, turn the heat down to low and pour in the warm cream and butter mixture - this will bubble up so be careful. Stir together until smooth then take off the heat and stir in the salt. Let cool for 5 minutes then stir in the rum. Leave to cool completely.
• Decorate:.
• Place the heavy cream in a medium bowl and beat with a whisk until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the cooled cake then pour over the cooled caramel. Top with the pecans and sliced banana. Serve immediately or keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
