    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    1 cup butter, softened
    2 1/2 cups sugar
    6 large eggs, separated
    3 cups all-purpose flour
    1/4 teaspoon baking soda
    1 - 8 ounce container sour cream
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 teaspoon lemon extract
    1/2 cup sugar
    Buttered Rum Glaze
    Bananas Foster Sauce

    Recipe



    Beat butter at medium speed with a heavy-duty mixer until
    creamy. Add 2 1/2 cups sugar, beating 4 to 5 minutes or until
    fluffy. Add egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating just until yellow
    disappears. Combine flour and baking soda; add to butter
    mixture alternately with sour cream, beginning and ending with
    flour mixture. Stir in flavorings. Beat egg whites until
    foamy; gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time,
    beating until stiff peaks form. Fold into batter. Pour batter
    into a greased and floured 10-inch tube pan. Bake at 325
    degrees for 1 1/2 hours or until a long wooden pick inserted in
    center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 to 15 minutes; remove
    from pan, and place on a serving plate. While warm, prick cake
    surface at 1-inch intervals with a wooden pick; pour warm
    Buttered Rum Glaze over cake. Let stand 4 hours or overnight
    before serving. Serve with Bananas Foster Sauce and vanilla ice
    cream.

    Buttered Rum Glaze

    6 Tablespoons butter
    3 Tablespoons light rum
    3/4 cup sugar
    3 Tablespoons water
    1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted

    Combine first 4 ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil
    Boil, stirring constantly, 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and
    stir in pecans.

    Bananas Foster Sauce:

    1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
    1/4 cup butter, melted
    1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/3 cup banana liqueur
    4 bananas, peeled and sliced
    1/3 cup light rum

    Combine first 4 ingredients in a large skillet; cook over medium
    heat, stirring constantly, until bubbly. Add bananas, and cook
    2 to 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Remove from heat.
    Heat rum in a small saucepan over medium heat (do not boil).
    Quickly pour rum over banana mixture, and immediately ignite
    with a long match just above the liquid mixture to light the
    fumes (not the liquid itself) Let flames die down; serve
    immediately with Buttered Rum Pound Cake.
