Ingredients | Caramel Nuts Ice Cream

1 ¼ cups white sugar, divided

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

½ cup chopped pecans

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup shortening

1 cup mashed banana

2 eggs

1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

½ cup sour cream

6 tablespoons butter

¾ cup packed dark brown sugar

6 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 cups sifted powdered sugar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).

Combine 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and mix in pecans. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in another bowl.

Beat 1 cup sugar and shortening together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in banana, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add sour cream and mix until just blended. Add flour mixture and beat until blended.

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar-nut mixture into the prepared cake pan. Top with 1/2 of the cake batter. Follow with remaining nut mixture and cake batter.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan and then turn the cake out onto a wire rack to finish cooling.

Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add brown sugar and milk. Bring to a boil; continue to boil for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract; mix in powdered sugar gradually. Top the cooled cake with the frosting.

This icing hardens up rather quickly so you need to work fast. If it hardens up too quickly for you add some more milk (not too much) to thin it out.
