Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 4 overripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
- 2 large eggs, preferably at room temperature
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 cups sugar
Instructions
- Bake at 350°F (176°C) for 30 minutes, then remove the pan from the oven. Using a 9- to 10-inch (12 cups) Bundt pan, generously coat it with butter. Using a silicone Bundt pan eliminates the need for butter. Avoid placing the Bundt pan on a baking sheet if you want the oven’s heat to flow through the pan’s inner tube.
- It’s best to combine the baking soda and salt in a separate bowl before adding them to the batter.
- The butter should be creamed with a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a hand mixer in an extra-large bowl. Then, add the sugar and continue beating at medium speed until the mixture is pale and fluffy. Beat each egg for about a minute before adding the next. Mix the bananas into the batter at a low speed with the mixer. To finish, add half of the dry ingredients (don’t disturb the batter if it curdles), all of the sour cream, and the remaining flour combination. The batter should be scraped into the pan, debubbled by rapping the pan on the counter, and then smoothed on top as directed above.
- The cake was baking when a thin knife pushed into the center came clean. After around 30 minutes, check on the cake to see whether it’s browning too quickly; if so, cover it loosely with a foil tent. Before unmolding the cake onto a cooling rack, let it cool for 10 minutes on the rack.
- For a truly delicious dessert, wrap the cake in plastic and leave it out for a few hours on the counter before serving.
Notes
- When baked in mini bundt pans, this recipe makes about 20-24 mini bundt cakes. In general, the cakes should be baked for around 20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
- If you wrap the cake in plastic wrap tightly, you can keep it at room temperature for 5 days.
- A Lemony White Icing can be added to this recipe: To prepare an icing thin enough to trickle down the Bundt’s curves, sift 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar into a bowl and squeeze in 2 tbsps. of fresh lemon juice.
