How to cook deliciously - Banana Pound Cake

1. Stage

Grease a 10-inch fluted tube pan, then sprinkle it with 3 teaspoons of sugar. Set it aside.

2. Stage

Preheat the oven to 325°F. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and the remaining 3 cups of sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, five to seven minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the bananas and the extracts. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking soda, then add the dry mix to the creamed mixture a little at a time, alternating with the sour cream, beating until just combined.

3. Stage

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan (the pan will be full). Bake until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, 75 to 85 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.

4. Stage

In a small bowl, whisk the confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and milk until smooth, then drizzle it over the cake. Store the cake in the refrigerator.
