BUTTERSCOTCH BANANA BUNDT CAKE RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Butterscotch Banana Bundt Cake Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 (15 1/4 ounce) box yellow cake mix (I used Betty Crocker, one whole box plus 1-1/2 c. from another box)
1 (11 ounce) package Nestle butterscotch morsels, divided
4 jumbo eggs
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
2/3 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Generously grease and flour a large Bundt or tube cake pan. In a small bowl, microwave 1-1/3 cups of the butterscotch chips 30 seconds at power level 7, then stir and continue to microwave at 15-second intervals until melted. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl and using a hand mixer, beat the cake mix, eggs, mashed bananas, sugar, water, and oil as directed on cake mix box. Measure out 2-1/2 cups of the batter into a separate bowl then stir the melted butterscotch chips into it. Alternating the two batters, spoon into the cake pan. (My pan was about 3/4 full). Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until center tests done with a wooden toothpick. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes then remove cake to rack to cool completely. Place the remaining 1/3 cup butterscotch chips in a small plastic ziptop bag and microwave for a few seconds at a time, kneading it with your fingers in between, just until it's smooth. Snip off a small corner from one side of the bag and pipe over cake.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas for a sweeter, more flavorful cake. Overripe bananas can be frozen and used later for baking.
  • Creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a tender, moist cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
  • Butterscotch Frosting: For a smooth, creamy frosting, be sure to use unsalted butter and cream cheese that have been softened to room temperature.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add a little milk or cream until it reaches the desired consistency.

Conclusion:

This butterscotch banana cake is a delicious, moist, and flavorful cake that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of bananas and butterscotch is a classic flavor combination that is sure to please everyone. If you are looking for a sweet and satisfying treat, this cake is definitely worth trying.
