Bundt or Sheet Cake or Muffins?

I love making the cake in a bundt pan, it easy and so pretty!


However, if you're in a hurry you can use a disposable sheet pan or any style pan you like!

Plain, Powdered Sugar or Frosted?

You can leave this plain and serve this with your favorite ice cream, we love butter pecan with this cake!


Or you can drizzle a light glaze of the top, I prefer a cream cheese frosting glaze on this banana cake and sprinkled with toasted chopped pecans.

Breakfast Muffins Anyone?

As I mentioned before, breakfast muffins have never been so easy!


This simple banana cake recipe can turn into a cake-style muffin or use as an individual dessert in a hurry.


The muffins freeze well and thaw out in no time.


Dust with powdered sugar, glazed or with even just a dollop of whipped cream with your favorite fruits, and you will have the perfect easy dessert.
