Ingredients

  • For the Pound Cake:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar

  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2–3 bananas)

  10. Fold in whipped topping until smooth.
  11. Slice cooled cake horizontally into 2–3 layers.

Notes

  • Add caramel drizzle or cream cheese glaze for extra richness.

  • Try with vanilla or cheesecake pudding for variety.
  • Toss banana slices in lemon juice to prevent browning.
  • Serve cold and keep refrigerated for best texture.
