I used to sell Pampered Chef and somewhere along the line, I came across a version of this recipe.

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!

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs: Adding the eggs one at a time will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients slowly: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Do not overbake the cake: A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean when the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This banana walnut crunch bundt cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a delightful crunch from the walnuts. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect complement to the cake, adding a touch of sweetness and richness. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
