Banana bundt cake – pure white bite

Why this banana bundt cake is perfect

This recipe is probably the best banana cake I’ve ever had. The reason is that the base ingredient is what makes the banana shine. No warm spices or chocolate chips added. This is basically a vanilla cake recipe using mashed bananas.

Beautifully ripe bananas are sweet, flavorful, and delicious any time of the day. But that doesn’t mean we neglect the taste. The salted caramel glaze pairs so beautifully with the bananas that I’m drooling just thinking about it. Plus, using a bundt tin makes the cake so much prettier. 😍

recipe ingredients

1. banana – The riper it is, the tastier it is! Using ripe bananas will make the cake even sweeter without the unpleasant taste. Lemon juice will soften the sweetness and keep the bananas from turning too brown.
2. dry ingredients – All-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt create a soft and flavorful cake base.
3. wet material – Butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk (or sour cream) add moisture to this flavorful and decadent cake.
4. lemon peel – You can omit this ingredient, but it adds a nice tartness and perfectly balances the sweetness of the bananas.
5. Glaze ingredients – Butter, brown sugar, salt, milk, vanilla extract, and sugar are all you need to make this mouth-watering salted caramel glaze.
6. pecan nuts are optional, but they add nice texture and look beautiful as decorations.
