Banana Bundt Cake Recipe
This banana bundt cake has a soft and moist crumb and is loaded with sweet banana flavor (It has 6 bananas in it!). Topped with a silky cream cheese glaze, you’ll love every bite. It also stays soft and moist for days.We took one of our most popular recipes, Banana Bread, and turned it into this Banana Bundt Cake Recipe. It’s really just as easy but a showstopper of a cake with the cream cheese glaze which we modeled after our Cream Cheese Frosting.
Ingredients
For the Banana Bundt Cake
- 6 very ripe bananas, medium/large, about 3 cups mashed
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature (1 cup = 16 Tbsp)
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
For the Cream Cheese Glaze
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar, or added to taste
- Pinch of salt
- 3-6 Tbsp milk, or added to desired consistency
Instructions
To Make the Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350 ̊F. Grease the inside of a bundt pan with butter then dust with flour and tap out the excess. Set the pan aside.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter. With the mixer on, gradually add the sugar and beat until creamed together.
- Un-peel banana and set them on a plate. Mash with a fork until you have the consistency of chunky applesauce. (You should have about 3 cups of mashed bananas). Add the bananas to the mixing bowl along with the eggs and vanilla. Mix until blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the batter and mix until well incorporated and no streaks of flour remain.
- Pour the cake evenly into your prepared bundt pan and bake at 350 ̊F for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and set on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes then invert onto a wire rack,* remove the cake pan and cool to room temperature before applying glaze.
To Make the Cream Cheese Glaze
- In a mixing bowl, cream together cream cheese and butter. Add vanilla, powdered sugar and salt. Beat on medium speed until whipped and smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Add 3 Tbsp milk then add more, 1 Tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Notes
1. We use a dark-colored 12-cup bundt cake for this recipe. Be sure to adjust the cooking time for smaller or lighter-colored pans.
2. To Invert onto a rack, set the rack over the cake then set one hand on the rack and hold the bundt pan with the other hand (use oven mitts if it’s too hot) and carefully flip the cake over onto the rack.
