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.

Ingredients

¾ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups white sugar
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¾ cup 1% buttermilk
2 cups mashed ripe bananas
1 cup chopped toasted walnuts

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
Mix butter, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; gradually add sugar until well blended.
Add flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg to a separate medium bowl. Mix lightly with a fork. Add approximately 1/3 of the flour mixture to the egg mixture; do not overbeat. Add 1/2 of the buttermilk and alternate between flour mixture and buttermilk, ending with flour mixture, until blended. Add bananas and walnuts and mix until just blended. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Remove cake carefully while still hot to a separate plate and let cool.
