MOIST BANANA BUNDT CAKE / BREAD WITH ORANGE GLAZE
According to my mother, this is the "best" banana cake. It is very moist and flavorful. Everyone had several slices. A good way to use up those old bananas. I did some pretty substantial revisions to a Recipezaar posting, Recipe #173929, so I chose to post my own.

MOIST & DELICIOUS BANANA NUT BREAD
I got this recipe when I was 12 and have used it for the past 33 years and haven't found one better! My son used it when he was 12 at the California State Fair and won a first place ribbon with it. It is just simply delicious & moist. I either make a loaf or put it into muffin cups & make muffins for my kids to grab in the morning on their way to school. Using margarine makes the muffins come out in a better form, but the butter has a better flavor, so I usually use 1/2 of each to get the best of both worlds.

Steps:
- Cream butter & sugar. Add vanilla & eggs. Combine dry ingredients, add alternately with bananas & milk. Add nuts if desired. Grease & flour 1 bread pan (2-3 smaller pans) or pour into muffin cups. For loaf bake at 350 for 45-60 minute Muffins 350 for 20-25min. Enjoy!
- *Note- I usually use a smaller bread pan to make the 2 loaves, or use a larger one and just make 1 big loaf, but it will need to bake longer. I adjusted the time because people had been saying it was over baking, now people are saying it's under baked. I would use the old fashion test of a tooth pick at 45 min, then at 1 hour -- up to 1 hour & 30 min if needed. Hope that helps!
Tips:
- For the best results, use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bread tough.
- Be careful not to overbake the bread. Overbaking will make it dry and crumbly.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. Slicing it too soon will make it gummy.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
