Steps:
- Prepare the Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 16-cup Bundt pan generously with baking spray. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Beat butter and cream cheese with a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until creamy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually add granulated sugar and brown sugar, beating until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.
- Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture, beating on low speed just until blended after each addition. Beat in bananas, pecans, and vanilla just until combined. Spoon batter into prepared pan, and spread evenly.
- Bake in preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool cake in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Loosen edges of cake from sides of pan using an offset spatula; carefully remove from pan, and invert onto wire rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours.
- Prepare the Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a medium bowl until completely smooth. Spoon Glaze over top of cooled Cake, allowing Glaze to drip down sides. Garnish with chopped toasted pecans. Let stand 30 minutes before slicing.
MY FAVORITE GLAZED BANANA CAKE
I've searched high and low for the *perfect* banana cake; well, I think I've found it! This is moist and delicious, easy to make, and the perfect way to use up the oldest, blackest bananas you can find. The glaze topping is a nice change from the typical cream cheese icing, because it's not overpowering--it really allows the full flavor of the banana cake to shine through. Use your choice of ground walnuts or ground pecans in this cake--I've tried both, and either one works fine. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do !! I think it's just fantastic!! (Chris says it reminds him of Entemann's banana cake, only better! How's that for a compliment!) Number of servings depends on how big you make your slices.

- Stir in nuts, and pour into a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, or until done (insert toothpick or caseknife into center of cake-if it is clean when removed, cake is done).
- Allow to cool in pan before glazing.
- GLAZE: Cream butter and sugar, then add vanilla and just enough milk to reach spreadable consistency-you may need as much as 4 tablespoons.
- Decorate surface of glazed cake with nuts, if desired.
- This cake refrigerates very well, making it a great"make ahead" dessert.
- For OAMC, freeze slices of unglazed cake-allow cake to thaw before glazing.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Set aside. Grease and flour a fluted tube pan.
- Beat 1 cup of butter, shortening, 2 cups of brown sugar, and 1 cup of white sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add the bananas, followed by the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract with the last egg. Pour in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing until just incorporated. Fold in the pecans; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour the batter into prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. Heat 1/2 cup of butter, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of white sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugars have dissolved, then gently simmer for 1 minute. Pour over baked cake while still in the pan. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
