This easy banana bundt cake is topped with the richest caramel glaze! This is the perfect way to use up any leftover bananas!
Someone please explain to me what specifically a ‘snack cake’ is, because, if any cake falls into the ‘snack cake’ category, my snack options are looking up.
I looked it up once on Google, aka the fount of all knowledge, but I kind of got a bunch of muddled info that left me still wondering what constitutes a snack cake. Is it the size? Kind of cake? How it’s made?
Clearly, cake occupies quite a bit of my thoughts.
I’m not mad about it. I mean, there are worse things.
I am a huge fan of banana breads, cakes, and muffins, which is extremely convenient since there always seems to be a few bananas that just couldn’t be eaten in time.
Right? There is just this small window of time before the bananas ripen too much, and of course, they all seem to ripen at the exact same time. It’s almost as if they want to be baked into something amazing, which I am more than happy to oblige.
If you’ve been here on the blog before, you do know how much I love banana breads (maple glazed banana breads, chocolate chip banana breads, coffee glazed banana breads). As much as I do love a sweet, rich banana bread, I am partial to cake (as made pretty obvious above) so turning these leftover bananas into a bundt cake was a no-brainer.
And the caramel glaze? Well, it had to happen.
The nuts, well, I probably got a little crazy with the amount of walnuts I decided to place on top of the cake, so I’m not offended if you’d prefer to leave a good half of them off (or all of them).
Banana bundt heaven!

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup mashed bananas
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- 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, milk, 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.
- While the cake is cooling, melt butter and brown sugar together in a saucepan over med-low heat. Once melted, add in vanilla extract and heavy cream.
- Once combined, pull off the heat and whisk in powdered sugar. Once combined, allow to sit for 8-10 minutes so the glaze can thicken.
- Pour glaze over the cake, giving it 5-10 minutes to harden.
- Enjoy!
