Ingredients

Cake
2 cups flour, all-purpose
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup butter, unsalted softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup bananas mashed, ripe
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
1/2 cup pecans chopped
Glaze
1/4 cup brown sugar packed
1/4 cup milk, sweetened condensed
2 tablespoons butter, unsalted
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
Frosting
3 ounces cream cheese softened
6 tablespoons butter, unsalted softened
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 tablespoon maple syrup pure
1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
3-3 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13- by 9-inch baking pan. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.

2. Beat butter and granulated sugar in large bowl of electric mixer on high speed until light, 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stop the mixer and add bananas, sour cream and vanilla. Mix in on low speed. Fold in the dry ingredients and nuts with a rubber spatula.

3. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool completely on wire rack.

4. For caramel glaze, combine brown sugar and condensed milk in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until mixture begins to bubble. Reduce heat to low and add butter; cook and stir until melted. Remove from the heat and stir in confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Spread over cooled cake.

5. For frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Stir in sour cream, maple and vanilla. Add enough confectioners' sugar to make a smooth, thick frosting. Carefully spread over caramel glaze.

Challah

proof v. To dissolve YEAST in a warm liquid (sometimes with a small amount of sugar) and set it aside in a warm place for 5 to 10 minutes until it swells and becomes bubbly. This technique proves that the yeast is alive and active and therefore capable of LEAVENING a bread or other baked good.
