Banana and vanilla Bundt cake

Vanilla and banana both contain vanillin (or similar aroma compounds), so they reinforce each other. This recipe is a textbook example of 'moist' cakes: the milk and banana together ensure the Bundt doesn't dry out for days.

Recipe FAQ

The batter became too dense.
Your baking powder may have expired, or you put too much banana in (its weight compressed the dough).
