This week's Tuesdays with Dorie (TWD) recipe was chosen by Mary of The Food Librarian: Classic Banana Bundt Cake. It's really just a banana bread in bundt pan, though Dorie also gives you a recipe for a nice lemon glaze if you want to spruce it up a bit. (I think a caramel glaze would be awesome.)
The recipe is as straightforward as any other banana bread recipe. This one calls for sour cream or yogurt (I used both) that makes it an extremely moist cake. I haven't really ever had a banana bread I didn't like, but I did enjoy the fact that this one was particularly moist.
I did check on my bundt cake 30 minutes into baking as Dorie recommends, but my cake looked just fine at that point. I did have to finally cover it with a foil tent around the 50 minute mark, though, so keep a close eye on your cake to make sure it doesn't over brown.
Thanks Mary, for picking this recipe, it was fantastic and I will definitely be making it again. If you would like the recipe, you can find it here. If you're looking for something a bit sweeter to make with your ripe bananas, then try this Upside-Down Bananas Foster Cake. Make sure you check out the TWD Blogroll, to see how everyone else enjoyed this classic treat.
* Recipes notes:
- I baked my bundt cake for exactly 65 minutes, as indicated in the recipe. I did not have to place a foil tent over it until 50 minutes (as opposed to 30 minutes).

ReplyDeleteI love the colour on your cake. This recipe was so moist it melted in my mouth! I think it might have been a little too moist..haha

ReplyDeleteWow that cakes looks nice and moist. Wish I had a piece right now. I havent made banana bread in a while so I might have to give this a try! Yum
ReplyDeleteYour banana cake looks moist and delicious! I agree a caramel glaze would be a great addition!
ReplyDeleteYES!!!! Caramel would be awesome on this! YUM!
ReplyDeleteBtw, I'm going to follow your suggestion and make the bananas foster cake you mentioned. I've had it in the back of my mind for a year now. I have no excuse as I have bananas that are past their prime sitting on the counter.
Hope you and baby are doing well! :)

ReplyDeleteYour cake looks great! Mine wasn't all that moist, but I did use one less banana. I agree that a caramel glaze would be a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteThe cake looks beautiful just to stare at it! Banana is one of my fave flavours!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Steph, LOVE the color of your banana bundt cake! Even with tenting, mine came out pretty dark. Your banana bundt cake looks so beautiful naked, without any glaze!
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks like it turned out great. Caramel sauce sounds a like a great idea for this!
ReplyDeleteMmm, this looks sooo good! I really should not be looking at this at 2am...
ReplyDeleteThis bundt is awsome. I was looking for something to make with leftover ripe bananas . It's really BIG and it holds up well. Very moist and flavorful. I added a center of pecan strusel and that took it over the top. Everyone is crazy over it.
