Simple Orange Banana Bundt Cake image

I love cakes that are simple to make.Less than $2.00 to make a medium sized bundt cake. I did not buy any cake mix when the kids were small. That was a luxury I could not afford. I used to use tang (a dry drink mix) mixed with water to make the juice. There is a ready supply of fresh oranges at any grocery store.Amazing isn't it to have almost any vegetable or fruit at your fingertips when you walk into a large grocery chain.This century is wonderful! Of course I used to use a coal and wood stove when power was out and I still have it for emergencies!If you want to use this cake for Christmas I have included optional ingredients.I use a bundt pan because there are no arguments about which piece is larger.(I bet that sounds familiar.)

Time 1h5m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/4 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 large orange, juice of, halved
milk
1/2 cup Crisco shortening
1/2 oranges, zest of or 1/2 teaspoon dried orange zest
2 eggs, beaten
1 large banana, peeled, sliced very thin
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional) or 1/2 cup pecans (optional)
1/4 cup maraschino cherry, drained, chopped fine (optional)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Pam cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven 350*.
  • Spray pam in a bundt pan.
  • In large mixing bowl add flour, sugar, baking powder, and soda. (Mix nutmeg if you want to use now) Mix well.
  • Add shortening. Cut in with a rocker or fork until it is mixed.
  • Use a zest knife and get the rind off of one half of orange and add.
  • Juice the orange. Add milk to make 1 cup.
  • It is ok if the pulp gets used. In fact I use most of the pulp, pulse it in a blender until it is broken a little.
  • Add to flour mixture.
  • Use a mixer to blend on low speed.
  • Add eggs and mix again.
  • Add sliced banana and stir in with a spoon.
  • Pour into bundt pan.
  • If you use nuts and cherries, pour a little batter in the pan, then spread nuts and cherries, then the batter again.
  • Bake. 45 to 50 minutes When the top springs back when touched and sides start to shrink away from the pan, it is done.
  • Take out of oven and let set 15 minutes before inverting on plate. Serve plain or any glaze or frosting.
