BANANA BOURBON CAKE WITH BOURBON CREME ANGLAISE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Prepare a 10" bundt pan by lightly spraying with non-stick, or use a non-stick pan.
• Make sure all the ingredients are room temperature, including the eggs.
• Toss the pecans with 1/4 cup of the flour and set aside.
• Sift together the remaining dry ingredients and set aside.
• Cream the butter and sugar together until very light and fluffy.
• Add the bananas and mix until incorporated.
• Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well and scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.
• On low speed, mix in the flour in 3 parts alternating with the bourbon, beginning and ending with the flour.
• Gently fold in the pecans and the chocolate.
• Pour the batter into the pan, and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Let the cake cool for a 15 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to finish cooling.
• For the sauce: Heat the cream and sugar in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves.
• Remove from the heat.
• Whisk the yolks together in a large stainless steel bowl, and place the bowl on top of a wet towel.
• Temper in the cream by slowly, in a tiny stream, pouring the cream into the yolks while constantly whisking.
• As you get more cream into the yolks, you can pour a little faster until all the cream is incorporated into the yolks.
• Pour the mixture back into the pot and cook over very low heat JUST until it starts to thicken, stirring constantly.
• DO NOT BOIL.
• Keep the heat low or you'll have scrambled eggs.
• Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve, then add the bourbon.
• Cool completely and serve with the cake.
