Ingredients

Cake ingredients:

Bananas with Chocolate Sauce ingredients:

  • 4 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8-ounce bar semi-sweet chocolate
  • 3 bananas
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. (plus a dash) fortified wine

Directions

Instructions for cake:

Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan. Cream margarine, butter, and cream cheese, with sugar until fluffy and well combined. Add salt and vanilla, and mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour and mix well. Pour batter into pan. Place in a cold oven and bake at for 1 1/2 hours, or until done. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, it's ready. Cool in pan, then turn out and slice into half-inch-thick slices. Preheat grill pan to medium heat. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter and brush lightly on both sides of cake slices. Grill cake slices, turning once, until lightly grill-marked and slightly softened, about 2 minutes total.

Instructions for Bananas with Chocolate Sauce:

In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Pour 1 cup heavy cream into another small saucepan and turn on the burner to medium-high. Scald the cream. Break up the semi-sweet chocolate bar into a medium mixing bowl. When the cream is hot, pour it over the chocolate and sets the bowl aside. In a large skillet, melt the other 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Peel 3 bananas, slice them and place in another mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup sugar to the bananas, gently toss them and place them in the buttered skillet. When the bananas are golden-brown, add a dash of fortified wine and cook until it evaporates. Whisk the chocolate cream mixture until smooth, then add 2 tablespoons fortified wine, mixing well.

Assembly:

Put a cake slice on each dessert plate or parfait cup, top with a spoonful of the bananas, and then another cake slice and another spoonful of bananas. Drizzle the top of each dessert with the chocolate wine sauce.

    The recipe was not that confusing for me. I preheated the oven at 275 as stated. I cooked my cake at the same temperature, however I had to cook it about 15-20 minutes longer than the recipe stated. I didn't make the sauce or grill the slices. My family enjoyed my 1st homemade pound cake for Christmas and highly recommend that I cook another one. This is a great recipe.

    The recipe WAS unclear but what I did was I preheated my oven to 275 as stated and when I put the cake in the oven, I set the temperature to 300 and it came out great in 1.5 hours as stated in the recipe. I didnt make the chocolate sauce nor did I grill the slices. I just drizzled some of the New Duncan Hines Amazing Glaze dessert topper over it. Its just vanilla icing in a squeeze bottle. I also used a round bundt cake pan, not the one they called for in the directions. The recipe is really good, the cake came out perfect and this was my very first pound cake.
