The Best Bundt Cake
Bundt cakes make a beautiful, moist, and utterly sweet finale to your dinner.
What I love about this classic cake is that you can make it ahead and it tastes better the next day.
This recipe is pretty straight forward but yields incredibly moist, absolutely mouthwatering banana bread/cake.
What’s more, with the mini bundt pan, you make individual servings, and the mini cakes just look too cute and tempting.
If you don’t have mini bundt pans, you can make it in regular pan.

Banana Bundt Cake
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, preferably at room temperature
- 4 very ripe bananas, mashed (you should have 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 cups)
- 1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
Instructions
- Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Generously butter a 9- to 10-inch (23cm or 25cm)(12 cup) Bundt pan. (If you got a silicone Bundt pan there's no need to butter it.) Don't place the pan on a baking sheet - you want the oven's heat to circulate through the Bundt's inner tube.
- Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt together.
- Working with a stand mixer, preferably fitted with a paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add the sugar and beat at medium speed until pale and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla, then add the eggs one at a time, beating for about 1 minute after each egg goes in.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and mix in the bananas. Finally, mix in half the dry ingredients (don't be disturbed when the batter curdles), all the sour cream and then the rest of the flour mixture. Scrape the batter into the pan, rap the pan on the counter to debubble the batter and smooth the top.
- Bake for 65 to 75 minutes, or until a thin knife inserted deep into the center of the cake comes out clean. Check the cake after about 30 minutes - if it is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with a foil tent. Transfer the cake to a rack and cool for 10 minutes before unmolding onto the rack to cool to room temperature.
- If you've got the time, wrap the cooled cake in plastic and allow it to sit on the counter overnight before serving - it's better the next day.
