Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 Eggs medium Size
  • 2 Teaspoons Vanilla

Instructions

Preparation

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

Mixing

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In another bowl, beat eggs until fluffy, then blend in vanilla, sugar, and softened butter until the mixture is smooth.
  • Combine the wet mixture with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Stir in the yogurt and mashed bananas, ensuring they are thoroughly incorporated.
  • Gently fold in the chopped walnuts.

Baking

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

Notes

Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and moisture. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before inverting to prevent sticking and ensure it holds its shape.
