I’ve gone bananas and there’s no going back, my friends! This cake is pure banana bliss!

Banana Pudding Pound CakeI’m a southern girl and I was raised on banana pudding and pound cake, so this banana pudding pound cake was destined to happen one of these great days! It turned out just as I had dreamed it, if not better! It’s so moist and literally bursting with bananas!

Banana Pudding Pound Cake

I have such yummy memories of my mom’s out of this world banana pudding and her to die for sour cream pound cake for Sunday supper and special occasions growing up. She’ll be proud of this one, that’s for sure! And I can’t wait to bake it and take it to our next family get-together!

Super simple with sweet results! The pudding mix adds moistness and that incredible banana pudding flavor while the mashed and sliced bananas add melt in your mouth texture and even more marvelous moisture!

Description

Incredibly moist and flavorful pound cake that you’ll go bananas for, literally!


Ingredients

  • Cake:
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 (3.4 ounce) package banana cream instant pudding mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 mashed bananas
  • 2 thinly sliced bananas
  • Icing:
  • 11/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease and flour a round tube pan and set aside.
  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until well incorporated. With the mixer on low speed, slowly beat in the milk and vanilla until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, dry pudding mix, baking powder and salt. Add to the wet ingredients, one cup at a time, until just combined. Stir in the mashed and sliced bananas until evenly distributed.
  4. Spread evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 60-75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pan 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. For the icing, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth and of drizzling consistency. Add more powdered sugar if too thin or more milk if too thick.
  6. Transfer cake to a cake stand or serving platter and drizzle with icing. Garnish with more banana slices, if desired.

    1. Hi Kim! You most certainly can bake this in a 13×9-inch pan. I would just recommend filling the pan no more than 2/3 of the way full for the best results to allow room for rising. I haven’t tested this recipe in a 13×9-inch pan so I couldn’t say for sure if you would have leftover batter. The baking time will certainly differ as it won’t take as long to bake in a 13×9-inch pan. I’m thinking it would take about 40-45 minutes instead. I hope this helps. Enjoy!

  1. Hi, I want to bake this cake this weekend, I will use my 12 cup Bundt pan, I wanted to know if I should bake at 350 per the recipe or 325 which is the standard baking temp for Bundt pans.

    1. Hi Mike! I always bake this recipe at 350 with great success. Feel free to bake it at 325, but just know that it could take longer than the baking time range listed in the recipe. Such a great recipe! Enjoy!

    1. Hi, Dana! It can be stored at room temp in a sealed container for up to 2 days. If you need to keep it longer, I would recommend refrigerating it!

  2. I substituted whole milk for coconut/almond milk blend, cut the sugar to 1 cup, used frozen bananas , and added one cup of walnuts. It was amazingly moist and delicious. I will definitely will make this again.






    1. I have recreated this cake and have stayed true to the recipe……in your photos of the finished sliced cake it looks like there are walnuts lurking around……. HHHMMM. The next three that I made I added eith pecans pieces or walnut meats to the batter at the last minute. Turned out perfect!! Great recipe.

      1. Hi Stacey! Love that you added nuts. There were no nuts added in the recipe or the photos. Those are just ripe banana chunks. 🙂 I’ll have to add some pecans or walnuts next time I bake it. Yum! Thanks for sharing!
