This dessert is easy to make with simple ingredients. It’s moist and loaded with banana flavor.
Although good fresh from oven, banana bread is much better after 24 hours in fridge.
My traditional banana bread is baked in a loaf pan is a very popular recipe on this blog. Recently, I felt inspired to give it a new look.
While trying to figure out what to do with 3 large overripe bananas, I got a “bright idea” to bake banana bread in a bundt pan. Voila!
Turned out great the first time I made it. Love when that happens!
This recipe calls for 2/3 cup of melted unsalted butter which is 10 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons.
Fascinating Banana Bread Facts
Banana bread is considered a “quick bread,” because it doesn’t need yeast.
National Banana Bread Day is February 23rd.
Bananas are sold more than any other fruit in the United States.
The first banana bread recipe was published by Pillsbury in 1933.
Bottom side up.
The typical bundt cake is served with bottom side up.
Top of banana bread bundt cake. A small bowl of applesauce is in the center.
Since the top is prettier than the bottom in my opinion, I decided to show it. I suggest serving as pictured above. After cake has cooled 10 minutes, place large plate on top. Use oven mitts or a thick towel to flip pan over so cake falls out on plate. Place a second plate on top of cake, flip again so top is shown as pictured.
To make the cake even more interesting, place a small bowl in center and fill with chocolate chips, crushed pineapples or maraschino cherries, or whatever you prefer.
Enjoy!
