TWD: Banana Bundt Cake
TWD: The not so Classic Banana Bundt Cake
A pinch of wholesomeness to an otherwise indulgent month of TWD choices. The Classic Banana Bundt Cake as chosen by Mary of The Food Librarian as a testimonial to her love for unfrosted and unadorned cakes. I of all people, second that! *waves my hand in the air*. Nothing beats a warm slice of buttery cake on a clean platter complete with a pot of freshly brewed tea and/or Curtis Stone on the tellie and a great food magazine. So if you're saying that nobody understands you Mary, I DO! Out with the frostings!
So you must be thinking, what the heck kind of shrew are you. All the purist talk about adoration for unadorned plain cakes and your classic bundt cake turns out looking like a mutant from Mars? What is going on?!!
Well, didn't hear anything coming from the dining room whilst I was braving the heat of the caramel-ed pan in the kitchen, with plates rolling off the tables out into the frigid dining room. I convinced myself that perhaps having empty plates being returned probably meant a good thing.
The next day, I stole a bit from the final plating that I did for my little brother. AMAZING. at least I liked it. *grimaces*

This looks so good! I can see this being served in a very fancy restraunt! Nice job!
It's so hard to resist, isn't it? We're given this easy bundt cake recipe, and the ambitious part of our brain says, 'hey, add a little creme anglaise and caramelized bananas and coconut streusel!' Good work!
You are a gourmet genius! I love this! :)
That is sooooo beautiful. Very creative with the flavors. I think having caramalized banananananas with the cake would be perfect.
Well, I think I could maybe like banana bundt cake if it were served to me like this with all these special additions! Gorgeous!

Wow, what an amazing banana mini-bundt cake! The actual cake looks wonderful - the color is amazing! And I LOVE the caramelized bananas!
Absolutely inspired! Maybe next time you can have it unadorned, just the way you like it!
Beautiful, those carmelized bananas alone look like they'd be a great dessert!
That's the way to dress up banana cake! Lovely. Pandan infused crème anglase sounds outstanding.
