Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 3 ripe bananas Ensure they are fully ripe to maximize sweetness and moisture.

  • ½ cup unsalted butter Imparts richness; Greek yogurt can be a lighter option.
  • 2 eggs Essential for binding the ingredients; a flax egg may substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Helps the cake rise.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Works alongside baking powder for perfect leavening.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the overall flavor; pure extract is recommended.

  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream Adds a rich finish; milk can be used for a lighter version.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your bundt pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
  3. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar for about 2 minutes.

  5. Fold in the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack.

  9. Once the cake is cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.
