Banana Bundt Cake with Peanut Butter Glaze
This easy banana bundt cake recipe is a cross between a sweet banana bread and a sweet banana cake! Topped with a peanut butter glaze, this cake is sure to be a hit!
I’ve decided I’m a big fan of bundt cakes. I mean, just look at that glaze. Who needs cake when there’s a big batch of glaze like that?! (I do. I always need cake.)
It’s a ridiculously easy way to get your cake fix, and considering my love for all things cake (hence my above need), that is a HUGE win in my book.
Perhaps too big of a win, because lately, between this and this, three more upcoming cake recipes (I’m obsessed), and taking a trip to Dots, there really hasn’t been a day where cake hasn’t been around.
It’s not the worst problem in the world.
Peanut butter and banana is a perfect match. A real love connection, if you will.
They go together like milk and cookies, mint and chocolate, and hot chocolate with marshmallows.
Like I mentioned earlier, to get this peanut butter and banana fix, really all you need to do is mix a bunch of ingredients in a bowl, dump them into a bundt cake, and then drizzle the glaze all over.
Easy peasy (no lemon squeezy because lemon would be weird in this).
This cake is a real party.
Banana Bundt Cake with Peanut Butter Glaze
Ingredients
Banana Bundt
- 1/2 cup butter (softened)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mashed bananas
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Peanut Butter Glaze
- 2-3 Tbsp milk (I used 2%, but whole works fine as well)
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 - 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
Bundt
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a bundt pan with baking spray.
- In a large bowl, cream butter until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add in granulated sugar and brown sugar, and beat until well combined. Add in eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet, mixing until just combined.
- Add in mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- Pour batter into the bundt pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and cake tester comes out clean.
Glaze
- With a mixer, beat peanut butter until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add in powdered sugar, beginning with 1 cup. Add in vanilla extract and and 2 Tbsp of milk, beating until well combined. If glaze is too thin, add in the last 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. If it's too thick, add in the last tablespoon of milk.
- Pour glaze over the cake, allow to harden (about 5-10 minutes) and enjoy!

Meet Michelle
I’m a self-taught baker who truly believes it’s impossible to be upset when eating dessert. It’s my life’s goal to bake everyone happy!
If I’m not baking, I’m probably reading a good book with a cup a coffee in hand.
Welcome! I’m glad you’re here!
That glaze looks completely amazing!
I REALLY need to invest in a bundt pan! I mean, this cake is absolutely gorgeous and how can you go wrong with a peanut butter glaze?! Never! Haha.
I’m with you…I heart bundt cakes. I love that moment you flip it over and it comes out perfect! 🙂 This glaze looks so good. Think if I lick the screen it’ll taste the same? Hehe.
I just love the banana and peanut butter combo! 🙂 This cake looks amazing- love that glaze…
I’ve always loved the way bundt cakes look! They are so pretty! And with peanut butter and banana?? Um yes please!
I am a bundt fan. I find them easier for me, a non-baker to make, layer cakes frighten me. The flavor combo you’ve created is delicious.
I LOVE banana cake and the peanut butter glaze sounds so good on this!! Peanut butter + banana is one of my favorite combos!
Recipe worked great! Instead of regular PB I used PUMPKIN SPICE PEANUT BUTTER and I Double Glazed the cake. Wonderful recipe, the banana flavor was subtle and nice, not to overwhelming of banana.
I made the cake this afternoon and followed directions to a “T” except for adding a little extra(about 2 Tbs) mashed banana. I know the recipe says check at 45mins , but if it’s my first time trying a recipe I’ll check it 5 mins earlier than called for. Glad I did. The cake was definitely done.
I doubled the glaze recipe as I had read in the comments someone else had, and plus, who doesn’t like a little extra glaze? I poured it all on the cake and it was enough to cover it and then some. Then I was concerned I had too much glaze! But, after eating a slice the cake to icing ratio was pretty good, especially since I felt like the cake was a bit too dry. Others who had it at our dinner party didn’t seem to think so and we all went in for a small second serving…the icing is really good and not too sweet, I think it’s cuz I used a natural peanut butter with no added sugar(Costco Organic smooth Pb)
I was looking for a peanut butter glaze for my son’s birthday cake. I came upon this but didn’t make the banana cake. Instead I made a devil’s food cake in the bundt pan and poured half the batter and filled center with mini peanut butter cups, topped off with batter and baked. Then I added the glaze and decorated with peanut butter cups. It looks amazing and the glaze is delicious. He is going to love it!
This is so good! My son said I can’t make your banana bread anymore, only this!
Thank you!
