Q: <strong>Can Banana Pound Cake be Frozen?</strong>

Yes, as with most of our cake recipes , this pound cake freezes beautifully. After baking the cake and cooling (to slightly warm or room temperature), wrap tightly with plastic wrap followed by foil. For additional support, we like to place the cake on a foil-covered cake board before wrapping. The cake will stay fresh in the freezer for up to three months . To thaw , we like to move the wrapped cake to the refrigerator the day before we need it. Then, the next morning, move to the kitchen counter. Unwrap once condensation is no longer forming on the outside.

Question 1

Does this Banana Pound Cake need Refrigeration?

Accepted Answer

This cake is fine to store at room temperature for two days under a cake dome or in an airtight container. It will last a bit longer in the refrigerator.

However, if you refrigerate the cake, you should move it to the kitchen counter two hours before serving to allow the cake to warm and soften.

Question 3

What other Glazes can be Used for the Banana Pound Cake?

Accepted Answer

This banana pound cake tastes so good on it's own, however a glaze is a great way to dress it up or to introduce another flavor. Today, we chose a caramel glaze.

Another delicious glaze is the peanut butter glaze from our Peanut Butter Pound Cake. We also have a great cream cheese glaze that we used on our Hummingbird Bundt Cake.

Finally, we often use a favorite frosting recipe (like our cream cheese frosting) to pipe directly onto the top of the cake, as with our Red Velvet Pound Cake and Eggnog Pound Cake.

Is Banana Pound Cake Fluffy or Dense?
