Friday Night Banana
Cake
Gotta Do
Something with those Bananas on the counter
Bundt Cake
Cake Batter:
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 11/2 cups mashed bananas
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 350. Generously grease and
flour a 10-inch
bundt pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar,
oil, eggs, vanilla and lemon juice until
smooth. Stir in the mashed bananas.
In a separate bowl, mix together the
remaining ingredients. Fold these dry
ingredients into the batter and blend well.
Scrape the bottom of the bowl to ensure
there are no unincorporated ingredients.
Pour the batter into prepared pan and bake
for 55 to 70 minutes, or until the cake
springs back when gently pressed. Cool for
10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate
and cool to room temperature.
Lemon Glaze
- 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2-4 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
In a bowl, stir the sugar together with the
other ingredients, adding water as required
to achieve a thick, but pourable glaze.
Spoon or drizzle the glaze onto the cooled
cake.
Yield: 12-14 servings.
