THE BEST BANANA BISCOFF BUNDT CAKE
Although I know there are enough banana recipes out there in the world to appease everyone and then some, there was a time when I was craving a banana cake with biscoff and couldn't seem to find what I was looking for, and that's how this cake originally came about. I have tweaked it a bit over time and every time I make it I'm reminded how much I love it. An elevated banana bread baked into a beautiful bundt pan with a yummy glaze on top. What's not to love?

HOW TO MAKE BANANA BISCOFF BUNDT CAKE

- Preheat oven to 300 F. Spray a 12 cup bundt pan with baking spray or butter and flour it, set aside.
- In a small bowl, mash bananas and add lemon juice and stir. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar together for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating in between. Add vanilla and sour cream and mix.
- Whisk flour, soda, salt and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
- Add dry mixture and buttermilk alternating between eachother, starting and ending with dry ingredients. And being careful not to overmix.

- Once done baking place right in the freezer for about 1-2 hours to chill. This helps keep the cake extra moist. Once done in the freezer, let sit on the counter for another 1-2 hours before removing from the bundt pan.
- Put powdered sugar, cinnamon and vanilla in a bowl. Add milk a little at a time until you reach your desired pouring consistency. Pour over the top of the cake. Top with extra cookie pieces if you want.
IS IT NECESSARY TO FREEZE THE CAKE AFTER BAKING?
I would really suggest it. This tip helps keep the cake extra moist. I just make a space in my freezer and move the cake directly to that spot and set it on a hot pad in the freezer.
DON'T HAVE BUTTERMILK OR SOUR CREAM?
If you don't have buttermilk you can make your own sour milk. Just put 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar in your measuring cup and then add enough milk to make ¾ cup that you need. Let it sit and curdle a bit.
You can use greek yogurt instead of sour cream. It will alter the taste slightly, but not enough that most people could tell.
CAN I BAKE THIS IN A LOAF PAN INSTEAD?
Yes! I have halved the recipe and it works perfectly in a regular size loaf pan. Just adjust the time, by baking less. Start checking at an 50-60 minutes instead. This can also be made in a 9x13 pan if you want to have the larger size recipe, but don't have a bundt pan.

BOMB!!!! I was left speechless. Banana cake + Biscoff is a dream come true for me. This was easy and gave us all the tasty feels. I made it loaf style and my family (of 5) ate both within 24 hrs. Winner!

AMAZING, we ate it in 1 day. I did not use any icing as we felt it was sweet enough without, more resembles a coffee cake but it is divine.
