THE BEST BANANA BUNDT CAKE (DORIE GREENSPAN)



The Best Banana Bundt Cake (Dorie Greenspan) image

This is an incredibly moist and delicious banana bundt cake/banana bread; the best one I've ever tasted. It also makes great muffins. It is so good, I don't feel it needs the optional glaze but I've included the instructions below if you want to make it. You can also simply dust with powdered sugar. The recipe is from Dorie Greenspan's fabulous cookbook, "Baking: From My Home to Yours". You can reduce the amount of butter by up to a 1/2.

Time 1h24m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 ounces unsalted butter, at room temperature (1 cup or 2 sticks)
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, preferably at room temperature
about 4 very ripe banana, mashed (1 1/2 - 1 3/4 cups)
1 cup plain yogurt (or a combination of the two) or 1 cup sour cream (or a combination of the two)

Steps:

  • Center a rack in the oven and preheat to 350°F Generously butter a 9- to 10-inch (12 cup) Bundt pan. (If you use a silicone 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 inches 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 65-75 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 have time, wrap the cooled cake in plastic and allow it to sit overnight before serving - it's even better the next day.
  • OPTIONAL LEMONY WHITE ICING: Sift 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar into a bowl and squeeze in enough fresh lemon juice (start with 2 teaspoons and add more by drops) to make an icing thin enough to drizzle down the Bundt's curves.
  • MUFFIN OPTION: Halve the recipe. You can add nuts or chocolate chips. Bake 28-32 minutes. Yields 12 muffins.

BANANA-NUT BUTTERMILK BUNDT® CAKE



Banana-Nut Buttermilk Bundt® Cake image

This Bundt® cake has a hint of spice with a bit of crunch to the outside and a light texture on the inside and is made with buttermilk. Not overly sweet, so I prefer it without frosting. A nice replacement for banana bread, very moist. May add frosting or powdered sugar for presentation but this cake is excellent by itself.

CHOCOLATE BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP BUNDT CAKE



Chocolate Banana Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake image

After first trying this years ago my 2nd son declared -who needs banana bread?! - and this became our favorite choice for doing away with overripe bananas. The recipe originally had an optional chocolate glaze, I've always skipped it and just added a light dusting of confectionary sugar. This is a pretty sturdy cake which makes it great for picnics, potlucks and lunch bags - the same son recently took 1/2 a cake with him for the drive back to S.CA! An extra note - seeing some of the comments - this is not a tall cake it only rises a littel more than half way up the pan. Ovens are different - go with a shorter cooking time and check to see if needs more.

1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon instant coffee (optional) or 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
1/2 cup butter

1 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, grease or spray a bundt pan and lightly dust with cocoa powder.
  • Mix together dry ingredients, set aside.
  • Cream butter, add sugar and eggs, mix well,then add bananas and mix briefly.
  • Mix in dry ingredients until incorporated, don't over mix, stir in chocolate chips.
  • Pour into prepared pan and bake 50- 60 minutes until it tests done, cake will just start to pull away from edges.
  • Cool slightly then remove from pan.
  • Your supposed to let it cool all the way then dust with confectionary sugar, but my kids always slice it warm, which is good with vanilla ice cream .
  • Note:.
  • I always use a pan release spray and dust with the cocoa, and have almost never had a problem with the cake sticking. If greasing the pan - do it well and use a bit more cocoa as you would flour.

Categories     Breads

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large, very ripe bananas unpeeled
1 l small firm banana for garnish
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature (soft not melted)
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • 1. Bake your bananas. Put them on a small metal pan and bake them at 300 degrees for about 20 minutes until the skins turn black. Remove the bananas from the oven and let them cool while you make the cake. (leave them unpeeled; you will snip the end off and squeeze the banana into the mixture later)
  • 2. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 10-inch bundt pan with Pam. Set the cake directly on the rack, not on a cookie sheet. (This is so the heat can go up through the center of the bundt pan to ensure even baking.) You may need to cover with a tent of foil if the cake gets too brown.
  • 3. Combine the flour, baking soda and the salt and whisk together, set aside.
  • 4. Add butter to the stand mixer bowl and beat until creamy. Add the sugar and beat on medium speed until pale and fluffy (no grainyness remains) I use a Kitchen Aid stand mixer with a paddle attachment. You can use a hand mixer if you don't have a stand mixer. When mixing the sugar and butter, it is important that you mix it until the grainyness is gone.
  • 5. Beat in the vanilla, and then add the eggs, one at a time, beating about a minute after you add each egg.
  • 6. Turn the mixer down to low, snip the ends off the small end of the banana and squeeze the banana like a tube of toothpaste. It will fall right out of the peel. Add all the bananas (except the one reserved for garnish)
  • 7. Mix in half of the dry ingredients, add the sour cream, add the rest of the dry ingredients, mixing well until smooth.
  • 8. Pour the batter into the well-greased bundt pan, smoothing the top, rapping it onto the counter to remove the bubbles. Add the banana slices to make the flower design on top.
  • 9. Bake in the oven 65 to 75 minutes. Watch carefully that it doesn't overbrown (add the foil tent if it is browining too fast) Test the center with a thin knife close to the center. Cool cake on a rack 10 minutes before unmolding, then cool to room temperature. Here is what it looks like when it is done! Enjoy!
  • 10. Note: You may serve the cake plain, dust with powdered sugar, or try a variety of icings.

BANANA-PUMPKIN BUNDT® CAKE



Banana-Pumpkin Bundt® Cake image

I came up with this cake as a way to use up some extra pumpkin puree and a few really ripe bananas. It's a better-for-you cake that isn't overly sweet, but still chock-full of flavor. Make sure to use really, really overripe bananas for the best results. If you're looking for additional sweetness, feel free to add some kind of glaze to the top of the cake as well. Adjust the add-ins (i.e. the nuts and chocolate) and spices to suit your tastes.

SIMPLE ORANGE BANANA BUNDT CAKE



Simple Orange Banana Bundt Cake image

I love cakes that are simple to make.Less than $2.00 to make a medium sized bundt cake. I did not buy any cake mix when the kids were small. That was a luxury I could not afford. I used to use tang (a dry drink mix) mixed with water to make the juice. There is a ready supply of fresh oranges at any grocery store.Amazing isn't it to have almost any vegetable or fruit at your fingertips when you walk into a large grocery chain.This century is wonderful! Of course I used to use a coal and wood stove when power was out and I still have it for emergencies!If you want to use this cake for Christmas I have included optional ingredients.I use a bundt pan because there are no arguments about which piece is larger.(I bet that sounds familiar.)

  • Take out of oven and let set 15 minutes before inverting on plate. Serve plain or any glaze or frosting.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 c chopped walnuts
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c butter or margarine, melted
1 pkg boxed yellow cake mix (about 18.25 ounces)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
3 large whole eggs
3 overripe medium to large mashed bananas
3/4 c water
1/4 c vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray bundt cake pan with cooking spray. You could probably use a regular cake pan if you wanted but I've never tried.
  • 2. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of the chopped walnuts, the brown sugar, and the melted butter together and stir well. Pour walnut mixture into the bottom of the pan and spread evenly.
  • 3. In a larger bowl, combine cake mix, remaining walnuts, and cinnamon. Add eggs, mashed bananas, water, and oil. Mix 2 minutes or until well blended and pour into pan on top of nut mixture.
  • 4. Bake for about an hour. Depending on the size of the bananas, cooking time varies a little. Remove from the pan when a cake tester (or butter knife) comes out clean. Immediately flip pan onto a cooling rack or cookie sheet and scoop out what of the nut mixture didn't come out. Nut mixture is extremely hot so be careful and put it on top of cake. Let cool, slice, and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Fold in the flour and baking powder gently: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Be careful not to overbake the cake, as this can also result in a dry, dense cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Banana bundt cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized with a variety of different toppings and flavors. Whether you are looking for a simple cake to serve at a potluck or a special dessert to impress your guests, banana bundt cake is sure to be a hit.
