1-Preheat oven and prepare pan: Getting started with this banana bundt cake is as easy as it gets, and you’ll love how straightforward the process feels. First, preheat your oven to 350°F (about 175°C) and grease a 12-cup bundt pan to ensure your cake releases smoothly later.

2-Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt to set the base for your batter.

3-Cream butter, add sugar and vanilla: Next, cream 1 cup of softened unsalted butter until it’s nice and smooth, then add 1 ⅔ cups granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract, blending until fluffy.

4-Add eggs and bananas gradually: Incorporate the 2 large eggs one at a time, followed by the mashed bananas for that signature flavor.

5-Alternate dry mix and sour cream into the batter: Alternate adding the dry ingredients with 1 cup sour cream in two parts to keep the batter even and moist.

6-Pour and bake, monitoring for browning: Pour the batter into your prepared pan, give it a tap to remove air bubbles, and bake for 55 to 65 minutes check with a toothpick for doneness and cover loosely with foil if it’s browning too fast.

7-Cool and unmold the cake: Once baked, let it cool in the pan before unmolding onto a wire rack. This step-by-step approach ensures your sweet brown sugar glaze for banana bundt cake turns out just right, with total time around one hour and twenty-five minutes.
