Bananas 'n Cream Bundt Cake

Submitted by Tearanii

"This great cake was shared by a fellow poster named Carmen on a cooking board I frequent and was quite the hit with those who tried it, myself included! This originally came from a Taste of Home publication submitted by Oma Rollison. This is terrific and needs no frosting making it a perfect snack cake."

I make this recipe almost weekly for "coffee and..." at Church. I was sick a few weeks ago, and my husband told me several people asked where the banana bread was. I'd say it's a hit!! I make it with plain fat free yougart sometimes, and use whole wheat flour most of the time. I've made it with pecans, or walnuts, but often leave out the nuts, and it's great every time! Thanks!!

It was delicious! I did not add any nuts since my family does not like them, but in its place added Chocolate chips. It came out great! Very moist cake that is not rich and gives you the full feeling and it did not induce any guilt feelings since I only used chocolate chips. :) It was great for after school snack with some milk for my middle school kids.

10 stars!! So moist and flavorful. We all loved it. The kids have made me promise to make it again soon. :) The only thing I did differently was to use only 1 cup of sugar and omit the walnuts (I was out). It turned out beautifully! Thanks for posting!

This is the recipe I never knew I was looking for. I don't think I will be inclined to make banana bread when this cake is much better and really not as much fat as most banana bread recipes. More often than I should, I buy more bananas than we can use. Now I may do it on purpose! I used pecans instead of walnuts because that's what I had but I do think walnuts would be better. I also made a little powdered sugar, vanilla glaze that I poured over the cake while still warm. I'm not going to admit how many pieces I ate last night but I will hit the gym a little harder today. Thank you for posting this recipe.
