𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦:
For the Cake:
1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 ripe bananas (mashed)
1 box (3.4 oz) vanilla pudding mix (dry)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1/2 cup whole milk
Optional Topping:
Whipped cream
Vanilla wafers (crushed)
Sliced bananas
Powdered sugar
𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 165°C (325°F). Grease and flour a bundt pan or loaf pan.
Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugars
In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This step helps create a soft and airy texture.
Step 3: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4: Add Bananas and Pudding Mix
Mix in the mashed bananas and dry vanilla pudding mix until fully combined. The batter will become thick and creamy.
Step 5: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 6: Alternate Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the batter, alternating with milk and sour cream. Mix until just combined—avoid overmixing.
Step 7: Pour and Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 70–80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8: Cool Slightly
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Step 9: Serve Warm
Serve slightly warm for the best flavor and texture. Add toppings if desired.
Enjoy!
