Banana Bundt Cake {with cream cheese frosting}

Category: Cheese, Fruit, Cakes

 Ingredients List

  • For the pound cake:
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pan
  • 2 overripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk (make your own by adding 1 teaspoon white vinegar to 2/3 cup milk and let it sit for 5 minutes)
  • For the frosting:
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • Pinch of salt, optional
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or extract

 Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour a 12-cup fluted bundt pan.
2. Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl. 3. With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in mashed bananas. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the flour mixture (with the mixer on low) in two parts alternately with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour. Beat just until it comes together. Do not overmix!
4. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean, 45-55 minutes.
5. Once done, cool cake completely in pan. Turn out cake onto serving dish.
6. Make the frosting: Mix melted butter and cream cheese. Mix in powdered sugar, salt if using, and vanilla. The frosting will be thick but still easily spreadable. Pour over cake and use a spatula to frost it. (I use a whisk to make my frosting, if the cream cheese is soft enough. If not, use a hand mixer.)
Store cake loosely covered in the refrigerator. It tastes best at room temperature. Will keep for up to 3 day
