Delicious banana-nut Bundt cake with decadent caramel icing, great for brunch, potlucks, or birthdays.
Ingredients:
  • 1.25 cups white sugar, divided
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 cup shortening
  • 1 cup mashed banana
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 0.75 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups sifted powdered sugar
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a fluted tube pan like a Bundt®.
  • Mix together 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, and pecans in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat 1 cup sugar and shortening until light and fluffy. Add banana, eggs, and vanilla extract, then mix well. Stir in sour cream until just blended. Add flour mixture and beat until fully combined.
  • Evenly scatter 2 tablespoons of the sweet nut blend in the cake pan. Layer with half of the cake batter. Add the rest of the nut mixture and remaining cake batter.
  • Bake in the oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 40-45 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
  • In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar and milk until mixture comes to a boil; let it bubble for 1 to 2 minutes. Take off heat, stir in vanilla extract, and gradually mix in powdered sugar. Frost the cooled cake with the mixture.
