Ingredients
- 3 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 cups of granulated sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup of mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
- 1/3 cup of sour cream
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 cup of crushed vanilla wafers
- 1 cup of prepared banana pudding
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F. Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. Add the mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in the crushed vanilla wafers.
7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Spoon the banana pudding evenly over the batter, leaving about 1/2 inch from the sides. Top with the remaining batter.
8. Bake for 65-75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before removing it from the pan and placing it on a wire rack to cool completely.
Variations
If you want to switch things up, there are a few variations you can try:
