The family loves this banana bundt cake, I bake it every week!

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in eggs and vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine sour cream and mashed bananas. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, alternating with sour cream mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Bake: Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Let cool in pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips and Variations:

  • For extra moisture: Add 1/4 cup of milk to the batter.
  • Spice it up: Add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
  • Add nuts: Fold in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
  • Make it healthier: Use whole wheat flour and unsweetened applesauce instead of some of the oil.
  • Frosting: Top with cream cheese frosting, chocolate ganache, or a simple powdered sugar glaze.
