Ingredients
- 1 store bought pound cake, loaf style mine was 14 ounces.
- 2 cups heavy cream. Note: whip an extra cup of cream for a total of 3 cups of cream if you want to add a piped layer to the top like I did. You will need to increase the sugar and flavorings a bit in this case.
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp banana flavoring, optional you can buy it here.
- 3 large bananas
- lemon juice or Fruit Fresh, optional
garnish, optional
- Banana slices
- toasted cake crumbs*
Instructions
- Slice the pound cake into 1/4 - 1/3 inch slices. Add one layer of pound cake to the bottom of your baking dish. If your slices don't fit perfectly, break them to fit and completely cover the bottom of the dish, in a single layer.
- Whip the cream with the sugar and flavorings, until it holds stiff peaks. Don't over-whip.
- Slice the bananas, slicing them one at a time so the slices don't start to turn brown. Arrange a layer of banana slices over the pound cake.
- Spread a layer of whipped cream over the bananas.
- Repeat this with a new layer of cake and bananas.
- Top with whipped cream.
- Optional: if you made extra sweetened whipped cream you can pipe a decorative topping on your icebox cake.
- Garnish the top with a few extra banana slices and the toasted crumbs, if using. I like to dip my garnish banana slices in lemon juice or Fruit Fresh to keep them from turning brown.
- Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours until ready to serve. Once chilled you can serve this in slices, or you can scoop it out with a spoon.

Notes
- *To make toasted pound cake crumbs, reserve a slice of cake and process it in a small food processor to make fine crumbs. Toast with a little butter in a pan over medium heat, stirring constantly until they turn golden.
