Servings: 10
Calories: 426kcal
- 1 1/2 cups mashed banana about 4 very ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup avocado oil or other neutral oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar, packed (340g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour 180g
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
CARAMEL DRIZZLE
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed 60g
- 1/4 cup cream 60ml
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar 60g
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ (180℃). Brush a 10-inch (24cm) non-stick bundt pan with melted butter or oil. Add a couple of tablespoons of flour to the pan. Shake and turn the pan to completely coat the inside in flour; shake out any excess.
- Combine the banana, oil, eggs, sugar, vanilla, flour & cinnamon in a medium bowl until well combined; scrape into the bundt pan. Lightly tap the pan on the counter to remove any large air bubbles. Bake for 45 minutes or until cooked and a wooden pick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Let stand in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool.
To make the drizzle:
- Combine the brown sugar, cream, butter & vanilla in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved & butter is melted. Bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the powdered sugar; stir or whisk until smooth. Drizzle over the cake; let stand until set. Cut into 8 to 10 wedges to serve.
