Banana Bundt Cake

Hello Everyone!  Once again, we have an overflow of old bananas (I don't mind though, it gives me an excuse to bake things).  If I had a choice, I would bake things with bananas quite a bit.  You can do so many things with them!  This is my new favorite banana cake recipe.  It was still amazing the third day!


Banana Bundt Cake

3tsp. + 2 cups sugar, divided
1/2 cup butter, softened
6 eggs
4 well ripened bananas, mashed
2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup plain yogurt
3 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda

Optional Glaze (for presentation - it's great without it):
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
3-4 tsp. milk

Preheat oven to 325*F.  Grease a 10" fluted tube pan (bundt pan).  Sprinkle with 3 tsp. sugar;  Set aside.  In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Stir in bananas and vanilla.  Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl.  Add to creamed mixture alternately with yogurt, beating until just combined.

Pour into prepared pan.  Bake in preheated oven for 75-85 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing from pan onto a wire rack to cool completely.

If you would like to glaze your cake, whisk together glaze ingredients in a small bowl.  When the cake has fully cooled, drizzle or lightly spoon glaze over the top and allow to set before serving (2 hours+)




This cake was so good!  You should all definitely give it a try!
