Our Banana Bundt Cake is a hit! We use ripe bananas to make this banana cake recipe. This my husband birthday cake request every year. Make this easy bundt cake recipe for parties or just to use up your bananas before they go bad, it’s one of our favorite recipes for ripe bananas.

Banana Bundt Cake

Banana cake is super easy to make. If you like banana bread, you’ll love this banana bundt cake recipe! I like to add a few chocolate chips to the cake batter. This really works well, I love how the little bit of chocolate cuts the sweetness. I use a semi-sweet chocolate chip, but if you want to have more sweetness you could stick with milk chocolate chips.

While the cake is baking you want to make the cream cheese glaze. If it wasn’t a bundt cake a cream cheese frosting recipe would work well too! I just like pouring glazes onto bundt cakes. Our cream cheese glaze recipe is great for cinnamon rolls too!

Banana Bundt Cake baking tips

We try like to remove the unhealthy fats during baking. Some of our favorite swaps to use are greek yogurt, applesauce, avocado, and even pumpkin puree! We went with greek yogurt for this cake recipe. The only con about using greek yogurt in baking is the loss of probiotics. If you’re putting the yogurt in for gut benefits it won’t help much as probiotics are best kept cold and they do die off in the heat.

Banana Bundt Cake Batter

When adding chocolate chips to cake batter you’ll want to lightly coat them with a bit of flour. This will prevent the chocolate chips from sinking to the bottom of the pan.

When using a bundt pan it’s important to use a nonstick spray or butter with flour. This ensures the cake comes out of the bundt pan easily. You also want to make sure the cake is completely done before you remove it from the oven. I usually check this by using a toothpick. Cakes and brownies are typically done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Speaking of bundt pan, we go with a fancy bundt pan instead of a traditional one.

Banana Bundt Cake Spray Pan

To prevent lumps in your batter and cake we recommend sifting your dry ingredients. If you don’t have a fancy sifter gadget you can use a mesh strainer, that’s what we use!

To mash our bananas we like to use a potato masher, we also use this for avocados and have one for ground meats as well.

These baking tips will surely help you bake up a scrumptious and stunning bundt cake.

Banana Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake

When is a banana ripe?

A banana is ripe once the banana has brown spots, the more brown spots the sweeter it will be. This makes bananas a great sweetener in recipes too!

This bundt cake does take quite a bit of time to cook. You’ll want to cook it for 40 minutes before checking it with a toothpick. It’s super moist and delicious and definitely worth the wait.

Once you take the cake out of the oven you want it to cool in the pan on a wire rack before removing it. Once you remove the cooled cake from the pan you can pour the cake glaze on. I like to use my stand mixer to make the cream cheese glaze recipe, but you could also use a handheld electric mixer as well.

To frost the cake I just keep it on the cooling rack and pour the glaze right on top. To keep it from making a huge mess I place the cooling rack onto a baking sheet with a silicone liner, you could also use parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Our banana bundt cake is not only great for the bundt pan, you could also use muffin tins, cake pan, or even loaf pans. If you do not want to add the glaze you can do without it too, we just love how well cream cheese frosting goes with banana bread, so that’s why we paired our banana chocolate chip bundt cake with the cream cheese glaze.
