Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease your bundt pan generously to ensure your cake slides out smoothly later!
  • Cream the Butter and Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is crucial as it adds that rich, creamy texture.
  • Add the Eggs and Bananas: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated. Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  • Mix the Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the cake light and airy.
  • Pour into Bundt Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 55-60 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick; it should come out clean when the cake is ready.
  • Cool the Cake: Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Dust with Powdered Sugar: Once completely cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for an elegant finish, and your Banana Cream Cheese Bundt Cake is ready to be served!
