Banana Bundt Cake - classic and easy mini banana bundt cake recipe that is loaded with bananas, moist, delicious, and best overnight.
The Best Bundt Cake
Bundt cakes make a beautiful, moist, and utterly sweet finale to your dinner.
What I love about this classic cake is that you can make it ahead and it tastes better the next day.
This recipe is pretty straight forward but yields incredibly moist, absolutely mouthwatering banana bread/cake.
What’s more, with the mini bundt pan, you make individual servings, and the mini cakes just look too cute and tempting.
If you don’t have mini bundt pans, you can make it in regular pan.

Banana Bundt Cake
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, preferably at room temperature
- 4 bananas, very ripe, mashed (you should have 1 1/2 – 1 3/4 cups)
- 1 cup sour cream , or plain yogurt
Instructions
- Center a rack in the oven and preheat it to 350°F (176°C). Generously butter a 9- to 10-inch (23 cm or 25 cm) Bundt pan (12-cup capacity). If you have a silicone Bundt pan, there’s no need to butter it. Do not place the pan on a baking sheet, as you want the oven’s heat to circulate through the Bundt's inner tube.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add the sugar and beat at medium speed until pale and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla, then add the eggs one at a time, beating for about 1 minute after each addition.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and mix in the bananas. Next, add half of the dry ingredients (don’t be alarmed if the batter curdles), followed by all the sour cream, and then the remaining flour mixture. Scrape the batter into the pan, rap the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles, and smooth the top.
- Bake for 65 to 75 minutes, or until a thin knife inserted deep into the center of the cake comes out clean. Check the cake after about 30 minutes; if it is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with a foil tent. Transfer the cake to a rack and cool for 10 minutes before unmolding it onto the rack to cool completely to room temperature.
- If you have the time, wrap the cooled cake in plastic wrap and let it sit on the counter overnight before serving—it’s even better the next day.

I have to make this two days in advance of serving it. If I wrap it well in plastic wrap will it be just as good on the morning of day three if kept wrapped until then? at room temp or in the fridge?
Room temperature or fridge is fine. Just warm up before serving.
Best banana cake ever. Made this recipe twice into 30 mini cupcakes with raisins and walnut pieces added. A keeper for sure.
Thanks for trying this banana bundt cake!! :)
I don’t have baking soda, how much baking powder can I substitute?
How much carbs it has in a piece of cake?
My son is diabetic do you have any recipes you can share?
I am sorry but I don’t.
Can I use Greek yogurt? That’s all I have on hand right now.
What are the size of your mini bundt pans? I have a Pampered Chef stone that has 6 or 8 small bundt forms in it, but not sure about the size of yours. This banana bread looks amazing.
Can I use half the sugar this recipe calls for?
