The most delicious way to use ripe bananas!
There’s something so irresistible about a pound cake—it’s simple, rich, and full of buttery flavor. It’s hard to beat. But when you take that classic buttery base and add in some ripe bananas, well let’s just say it makes a good thing even better. This Banana Pound Cake is the perfect balance of dense and moist, with some seriously tasty caramelized banana goodness. If you’re a banana bread fan and looking for something one step fancier… this is it!
For this recipe you’ll want to have 4-5 very ripe bananas on hand. Mash them really well to disperse that sweet flavor and moisture throughout the cake. The other flavors that will show through here are brown sugar, vanilla, a hint of cinnamon, and earthy walnuts. If you aren’t a fan of nuts in your baked goods feel free to skip ‘em. Pour the thick batter into a well greased 10-inch bundt and pop it in the oven for just over an hour.
Finish it all off with a caramel-y glaze that comes together on the stovetop in just a few minutes. Drizzle it over the cake once it has cooled, and then it’s time to cut yourself a slice. Whether you serve this up with a hot cup of coffee at brunch or slice into it for an after-dinner indulgence, this Banana Pound Cake is bound to be a new favorite.
