Tuesdays With Dorie: Banana Bundt Cake

I mustered up the strength for TWD this week, ladies!

My main reason was because I love Mary so much, but also because I've wanted to try out the recipe in the past. Mary is the queen of bundt cakes, but I decided to do mini loaves because (gasp!) I don't have a bundt pan.


I made half the recipe, which made 8 little loaves. I used the yogurt instead of sour cream and added some cinnamon to the batter as well. I think they taste yummy plain, but I also gave it a try with a bit of leftover cream cheese frosting, and anyone who's anyone knows that cream cheese frosting on anything is yumlicious.

Overall, I thought it was a tasty recipe. I'll probably stick to my standard banana bread and cake recipes, but this was a nice change. Thank you, Miss Mary, for getting me back on track with TWD!

    Your loaves look delicious! I definitely want to make this again and vary it a bit. Cream cheese frosting is one good idea :)

    I love you Natalie. I love you so much that I'm going to have conduct an intervention. No Bundt pan?! The engineering marvel that rivals such engineering feats as Fire, The Wheel and The Q-Tip (really, nothing will do but a q-tip when you need it). Please put a Nordic Ware Bundt on every wish list imaginable! :) Just kidding...sort of ;) Your loaves look great!!! Thanks for baking along with me this week. Your kind words are so sweet! - mary the food librarian
