Bananas 'n' Cream Bundt Cake

I love banana bread!  So since it was crappy weather and I had some bananas starting to get really ripe.  I decided to make some bread.  I thought it would be fun to actually bake using my bundt pan. 
 It's confession time, I have actually never baked using my bundt pan!
I know its pretty lame. So now I can finally say I have used it and it was worth the purchase.
I think its a fun twist then the usual bread loaf pan.


Bananas 'n' Cream Bundt Cake
Adapted from Taste of Home

1/3 cup shortening
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 cups mashed ripe bananas, about 3 medium
2 cups flour
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup walnuts, optional

In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add the eggs, one at a time beating well together.  Add vanilla.  Add bananas and mix well. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  Add to the creamed mixture alternating with the sour cream.  Stir in walnuts.
Pour into a greased and floured bundt pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes.  Let cool for 10 minutes before tipping over to cool completely.

My Notes:
This recipe was so good I would not make any adjustments.

    that looks like a good bread. I usually just make cakes in the bundt pan, so that is a good idea.

    Have a great day :)

  7. That's so funny. I have several bundt pans but have never used them either. Guess it's time to break them out of storage :) I host a link party on Tuesday called The Gathering Spot and would love it if you'd stop over some time. Have a wonderful Sunday!
