Instructions

1. Prep the oven and pan: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan thoroughly 

2. Mix dry ingredients: Whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside 

3. Cream butter and sugars: In a mixer, beat butter until creamy, then add granulated and brown sugar. Mix until light and fluffy 

4. Add eggs and vanilla: Incorporate eggs (one at a time) and vanilla extract until fully combined 

5. Add bananas and sour cream: Mix in mashed bananas, then sour cream or yogurt 

6. Add dry ingredients: With the mixer on low, add the dry mix in two parts, mixing until just combined—avoid overmixing 

7. Bake: Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55–70 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Tent with foil if browning too fast 

8. Cool the cake: Let it cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Loosen edges with a butter knife and invert onto a cooling rack 

9. Prepare the icing: Beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and pinch of salt. If needed, add cream/milk gradually until desired glaze consistency is reached 

10. Glaze and serve: Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle or spread the icing on top. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Recipe Variations & Tips

• Swap-ins: Stir in chocolate chips, nuts, or even fresh blueberries (tossed in flour) before baking 

• Storage:

  • With icing: Store refrigerated (well-covered) for up to 5 days.

  • Without icing: Store at room temperature (under a dome or wrapped) for up to 3 days.

  • Freezing: Wrap cooled slices or cake in plastic and foil, freeze up to 3 months. Thaw before serving 

• Enhance moisture: Overripe bananas add richer flavor; sour cream (or yogurt) helps the crumb stay tender
