Fresh Orange Hummingbird Banana Loaf Cake With A Buttermilk Glaze

• Orange Hummingbird Banana Loaf Cake
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon dark rum
• 3 tablespoons buttermilk (low fat is fine)
• 4 medium sized ripe bananas
• 1 medium fresh orange - zest and pulp
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground clove
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 handful sweetened coconut
• 1 handful chopped pecans
• Buttermilk Glaze
• 1 cup sifted powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons buttermilk

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Mix together all dry ingredients except the light brown sugar and pecans in a small bowl.
3. Peel and mash bananas until they are almost liquid. I use a potato masher.
4. Zest the orange. Supreme the orange and then break the segments into bite sized pieces.
5. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and the light brown sugar until they are light and frothy. Add in the rum and the buttermilk stirring until incorporated. Gradually add in the oil. Stir in the mashed bananas, orange segments and orange zest.
6. Fold the remaining dry ingredients, except the pecans, into the wet mixture. Once incorporated, pour into 2 greased 4"x6" loaf pans. One large loaf pan works fin too.
7. Sprinkle the pecans on the top of each loaf and bake for 40 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Bake for longer if using a large loaf pan.
8. Cool on wire rack for 10 minutes and then remove from pan and continue cooling.
9. Make the glaze by adding the buttermilk to the sifted powdered sugar. Stir vigorously to remove any clumps. Pour on top of each loaf.
10. Enjoy!
