Introduction
These Bourbon Pecan Banana Bundt Cakes are topped with a Bourbon Butter Glaze that just puts it over the top! The bananas make it super moist and the pecans give a nuttiness and crunch to make the flavor profile and texture just perfect. The number of cakes depends on the size of your mini Bundt pans. This will also effect baking time. So keep watch for a nice light golden color and use a Bundt thermometer or the toothpick measure for doneness.
Ingredients:
Cake:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup sugar
3 very ripe bananas, mashed
2 large eggs room temperature
2 - 4 Tbsp bourbon
1 Tbsp vanilla
3/4 cup sour cream
1 cup chopped pecans
Glaze
1/2 cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbsp bourbon
1 Tbsp vanilla
1/4 cup chopped pecans
How to make:
Cake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and lightly flour mini Bundt pans. You can also use cooking spray, just make sure it is specifically for baking, like Baker's Joy.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
In a large bowl or mixer, cream together the softened butter and sugars. Add in the eggs, bananas, bourbon, and vanilla then mix until combined. Beat in the flour mixture, alternating with the sour cream, eyeing it about 1/2 cup at a time. Fold in the chopped pecans. Pour batter into prepared Bundt pans. I have found about halfway fully is best.
Bake on center rack in oven until a toothpick comes out clean. My pans are approximately 32 oz and took 30 min. Cool on a wire baking rack for 10 minutes before removing from pan and then let cool completely.
Glaze:
To make the Bourbon Butter Glaze, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the powdered sugar, bourbon, and vanilla until smooth and well combined. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to cook off some of the alcohol. Note that the glaze will appear slighly grainy.
Cool completely before drizzling over cooled cake. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
