Pound Cake Perfection with Banana Bread variation

By

A delicious recipe for pound cake that can easily be adapted to banana bread. I usually double the recipe and make 1 loaf of each. They're both so good!

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Oil and sugar two loaf pans: I used two 8×4-inch pans.

In the bowl of a mixer, combine oils, applesauce, sugar/brown sugar, vanilla, eggs, coconut milk and/or water, and orange juice. Mix until sugar dissolves, slightly.

Add flours, xanthan/guar gum, salt, and baking powder.

Mix for two minutes, or until all ingredients have transformed into a well-combined batter.

Pour into prepared pans.

Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until toothpick in the middle comes out clean. Let cool in pans 10 to 20 minutes, then un-mold onto a cooling rack until fully cooled. Can be stored on counter, in refrigerator, or freezer (this cake actually freezes very well).

BANANA LOAF VARIATION:

Pour half of above batter into loaf pan. To remaining batter, add banana, cinnamon, and walnuts, mixing until the banana and cinnamon are well-combined. Pour into other loaf pan. Bake as directed above.

Note:

I usually make one pound cake and one banana loaf; I assume the above could be doubled to make two banana loaves, but I’ve never actually tried it.
