If you’ve been searching for the very best banana bundt cake, your hunt ends here. This banana cake is impossibly moist and tender. It’s the kind of dessert that tastes like it came straight from mom’s kitchen but looks bakery-worthy.

With a soft crumb, golden edges, and a sweet frosting, this banana bundt cake is my favorite way to use up ripe bananas, and it never lasts long!

When I was in high school, My Big Fat Greek Wedding came out, and there’s this hilarious scene where someone brings a Bundt cake to a family party and no one knows what it is. Every time I hear the word “bundt,” I think of that movie and can’t help but smile.

This banana Bundt cake is incredibly moist, rich with banana flavor, the perfect amount of sweetness, and honestly, one of the best cakes I’ve ever had. It will be love at first bite! You can add cream cheese frosting if you’d like, but it’s just as delicious served plain.

Ingredients for Banana Bundt Cake

This banana Bundt cake starts with a simple cake mix, and there’s absolutely no shame in that. Sometimes the easiest recipes turn out to be the best, and this one proves it! With just a few simple ingredients, you’ll have an ultra-moist, flavorful banana Bundt cake that no one will guess came from a mix. Here’s what you’ll need:

For The Cake

• Mashed Ripe Bananas: the key to that sweet, rich banana flavor and extra moisture
• Boxed Yellow Cake Mix: keeps things simple while giving the cake a soft, tender crumb
• Instant Banana Pudding Mix: enhances the banana flavor and adds even more moisture
• Eggs: help bind the ingredients and give the cake structure
• Water: keeps the batter smooth and light
• Sour Cream: adds tang and makes the cake super moist
• Vanilla Extract: a teaspoon or two adds warmth and depth to both the cake and frosting
• Canola Oil: ensures the cake stays soft and rich (You can swap for Butter, but note it will give the cake a slightly denser and richer crumb, while oil keeps it lighter and more moist for longer.)

For The Frosting

• Cream Cheese: the base for the luscious frosting
• Powdered Sugar: sweetens the frosting to perfection
• Vanilla Extract: gives flavor to the frosting
• Heavy Cream: makes the frosting extra smooth and creamy

Teriyaki Sauce

I can’t remember the first time I tried teriyaki sauce. But, it certainly wasn’t at home. My mom did the best she could, but cooking was not one of her strengths.

I am overwhelmed by gratitude for how tirelessly she worked to keep all of us fed and healthy on a shoestring budget. But, I have to admit, there is not a lot of fondness in my heart for the foods we ate.

So, as an adult, I have fallen in love with experiencing other cuisines as they are meant to be. Authentic teriyaki sauce, homemade salsa, spicy chicken curry, incredible pastas, the list goes on. I just love going to restaurants and seeing something on the menu that I have never tried before. I revel in those moments when you discover a new dish that makes your heart sing.

And, now that I am more proficient in the kitchen, I have learned that one of the great joys in life is to make those meals for the people I love. So, finding a recipe like this online, that let me cook a restaurant quality meal in the comfort of my own kitchen? Bring it on.
