Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose Flour
2 teaspoons Baking Soda
½ Teaspoon Salt
2 Teaspoons Ground Cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

3 medium Size Eggs
2 Teaspoons Vanilla
1 cup Unsalted butter softened
1 cup Sugar ¾ cup + optional ¼ cup for added sweetness
1 cup Yogurt
4 Medium-sized Ripe Bananas smashed

Add-ins

1 cup Chopped Walnuts

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-10 inch bundt pan thoroughly.

Mixing

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy, then blend in the vanilla, sugar, and softened butter until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, then thoroughly incorporate the yogurt and mashed bananas.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts.

Baking

Transfer the batter into the greased bundt pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

Ensure bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and sweetness. For a perfect bake, do not open the oven door during the first 30 minutes. Always check doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center.
