Banana Pecan Bundt Cake Recipe
Ingredients :
- Sift 1 box of yellow cake mix (we used Duncan Hines). I like to do this.
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (61 grams)
- ¾ cup of light brown sugar (162g) packed into a cup for measuring
- 1 tsp (4g) baking powder
- 3 grams (1 teaspoon) of cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon of salt (3g)
- 1/6 of a teaspoon (6g) Vanilla powder
- 1/4 cup oil (about 160 grams or 5.5 ounces) 3 eggs ,3 bananas, mashed (about 125 grams or 305 cups) 8 ounces of milk
- ¾ cup (78g) Pecans, chopped (not required)
Instructions :
1 . For the Cake
Turn on the oven to 325 degrees F and butter and flour a Bundt pan (see size notes).
Mix cake mix, flour, light brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Blend with whisk.
Add eggs, oil, mashed bananas, milk, and vanilla. Start with low speed to combine, then medium for 1 minute. Mix for another minute after scraping the bowl. Mix in chopped pecans.
Despite the sloppy batter, the cake will be light and moist.
Pour batter into Bundt pan and bake for 45–50 minutes until a wooden skewer/toothpick comes out clean or with a few crumbs. As the cake nears 45 minutes, adjust the bake time.
2 . For the Caramel Sauce
Over medium heat, melt butter in a medium sauce pan (deep enough to prevent boiling).
Combine the brown sugar and additional ingredients.
Stir to combine, avoiding pan sides. Once the mixture boils, lower the heat.
Check the pot for boiling after 5–6 minutes of covering and simmering.
Remember that caramel thickens when cooled.
Makes 1 cup caramel. Up to 2 weeks in an airtight container in the fridge.
3 . Ecorating the Cake
When the cake has reached the desired temperature and the glaze has reached a satisfactory consistency, you have the option of either drizzling it onto the cake with a spoon or loading it into a disposable piping bag and removing the tip.
You will have greater control over the drizzle if you use a piping bag (or a ziplock bag with the corner cut off), but the end result will be excellent regardless of whatever method you choose to use.
