Ingredients
-
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Optional: 1 packet (3.4 oz) instant banana pudding mix
-
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 3 overripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-

- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions
-
Preheat & Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a bundt pan to ensure easy release. -
Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, eggs, mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth. -
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In another bowl, sift the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, salt, and (if using) the instant banana pudding mix. -
Combine Batter:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—be careful not to overmix to maintain a tender crumb. -
Bake:
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. -
Cool & Serve:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting onto a cooling rack. Dust with powdered sugar or top with whipped cream/caramel drizzle, if desired.
Notes
- Banana Tip: Use very ripe bananas for an extra boost of natural sweetness and flavor.
- Mixing Caution: Stir the batter gently to avoid overmixing, which can lead to a denser cake.
- Serving Ideas: Serve warm or at room temperature. A dollop of whipped cream or a light caramel drizzle can elevate the flavor even more.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
