This absolutely scrumptious banana Bundt cake needs no icing, just a dusting of confectioners' sugar. Even though the recipe has been a family secret for years, I'm delighted to share it with my fellow home cooks. —Oma Rollison, El Cajon, California
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup shortening
- 1-1/4 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-1/4 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1-1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
- Optional: Whipped cream and sliced bananas
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour a 10-in. fluted tube pan. In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Add bananas and mix well. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, stirring just until combined. Stir in walnuts. Pour into prepared pan.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50-55 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, serve with whipped cream and additional bananas.
