Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature (1/2 cup = 4 ounces/1 stick)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 Tbsp bourbon
- 1 Tbsp vanilla bean paste
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 ripe bananas mashed
bourbon glaze
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar
- 4 tsp bourbon more or less, to taste
- milk or water, to thin
Instructions
- Set oven to 350°F.
- Lightly spray a standard 9x5 loaf pan and line with a piece of parchment paper with long ends so you can lift out the bread after baking.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the bourbon and vanilla bean paste.
- Toss the flour, baking soda and salt together.
- Blend the sour cream and mashed bananas together.
- Add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar, alternately with the sour cream/banana mixture, beginning and ending with the dry. Blend just enough after each addition to combine, don't over mix.
- Turn the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 50 minutes, or until fully risen and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out without wet batter on it.
- Let cool before glazing.
- To make the glaze, stir together the sugar and bourbon, adding a touch of milk or water to thin to glaze consistency.
- Pour or spread the glaze on the cooled cake.
