Who doesn’t love a bundt cake recipe? I love making them because they are so simple to make. No messing around with layers and frosting. Bundt cake is so simple to easy to bake and decorate. This recipe is no exception. It’s super moist, full of beautiful flavors, and slathered with cream cheese icing. What more could you want? Banana bread and banana cake have always been one of my favorite things (just search my site for banana and you’ll find six different recipes), so anytime I have overripe bananas sitting around I put them to good use. If you love this recipe, why not try some of my other bundt cake recipes, such as Caramel Apple Bundt Cake and the delectable Brown Sugar Bundt Cake with Caramel Glaze. Bundt is Best! That’s a promise. This time I had some vanilla pods I wanted to use and I thought the flavor would go really well with banana. If you haven’t used vanilla pods before, they are really easy to use and the flavor is far superior to extract. Here’s what you do. Start by slicing them lengthwise. Then run the knife down the inside of the pod to scrape the vanilla beans out of the pod. It’s really simple. I used half a pod for this recipe which is equal to 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste (although beans have a much deeper flavor). For the cake recipe, I stayed similar to my Banana Spice Cake with Chocolate Fudge Frosting recipe which I used condensed milk. Since it was such a success, I knew I’d be doing it again. Let me tell you it turned out amazing! Once you try it and taste the rich vanilla and banana flavors, you’ll want to have slice after slice! The texture of this cake is moist and dense (almost like a pound cake). Which to me is what I think a bundt cake should be. Its structure works great for this recipe and should stay moist for days.
So what are you waiting for? Go put those overripe bananas in your fruit bowl to good use! You are going to love this combo of banana, vanilla, and cream cheese icing. It’s a match made in heaven!
