Banana Pound Cake
3 teaspoons sugar plus 3 cups sugar, divided
1 cup butter, softened
6 eggs
1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 medium)
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
Glaze
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 to 4 teaspoons milk
Grease a 10-in. fluted tube pan. Sprinkle with 3 teaspoons sugar; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and remaining sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in bananas and extracts. Combine flour and baking soda; add to the creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beating just until combined.
Pour into prepared pan (pan will be full). Bake at 325 degrees for 75-85 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small bowl, whisk glaze ingredients until smooth; drizzle over cake. Store in the refrigerator. May be frozen for up to 1 month. Makes 12-15 servings.
