Banana and lemon Bundt cake

Recipes Cakes and Desserts
In ripe bananas, starch turns into sugar, so it acts as both a natural sweetener and a binder (it could even replace eggs). The acidity of the lemon cuts through this concentrated sweetness, creating a perfect balance. 'Brown spotted' bananas are best for this!

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Bundt tin
  • Fork (for mashing banana)
  • Electric mixer

Allergen Information

⚠️ Gluten
⚠️ Milk
⚠️ Eggs

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease and flour the tin.

Tip: Banana batters have a high sugar content, caramelise easily and stick, so grease thoroughly.
2 ✓

Mash the bananas to a pulp with a fork, and mix in the lemon juice.

Tip: The lemon juice prevents the banana from browning (oxidation) and freshens the flavour.
3 ✓

Cream the soft butter with the sugar until fluffy, then add the eggs one by one.

Tip: An aerated base is key to a light Bundt.
4 ✓

Add the banana and lemon zest to the butter mixture.

Tip: Mix until smooth.
5 ✓

Fold in the flour mixed with salt and baking powder.

Tip: Do not overmix, because the banana fibres and gluten together can make the dough very tough.
6 ✓

Bake for 45 minutes. Skewer test!

Tip: The inside of banana cakes can appear moist for longer, but if the skewer is not doughy, just moist, it is good.
7 ✓

Leave to cool in the tin for 10-15 minutes before turning out.

Tip: While hot, its structure is very unstable.

Recipe FAQ

The batter was too dense and rubbery.
Because of the banana, the batter is heavier. If you overmix it with the flour, it becomes very rubbery. Just fold it in!
