Savor a slice of this moist, flavorful Banana Pound Cake, enriched with dulce de leche and warm cinnamon. Creamed butter is beaten with NESTLÉ® LA LECHERA® Dulce de Leche, eggs, flour, mashed bananas, NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk and chopped walnuts for a tender, nutty crumb. Baked until golden, then topped with a creamy cream cheese and LA LECHERA® Sweetened Condensed Milk frosting, fresh banana slices and extra walnuts. Rich, comforting and beautifully sweet, it's the perfect cake for celebrations, coffee breaks and family gatherings.

Ingredients

Make It

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350° F.

Step 2

For the pound cake, beat the butter until creamy, add the LA LECHERA® Dulce de Leche, the eggs one at a time, the all-purpose flour, the baking powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, the banana puree, ½ cup CARNATION® Evaporated Milk, and ¾ cup of walnuts.

Step 3

Pour the mixture into a greased and floured mold. Bake at 350° F for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean; let it cool.

Step 4

For the frosting, beat the cheese until creamy, add NESTLÉ® LA LECHERA® Sweetened Condensed Milk, 1 ½ teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and continue beating until well combined; refrigerate for 15 minutes. Decorate the pound cake with the frosting, banana slices, and the remaining walnuts. Enjoy.

Culinary tip:

It is important to refrigerate the frosting to have the perfect consistency. You can substitute the cinnamon with nutmeg.
