How to Make Almond Fudge Banana Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. Mash 3 ripe medium bananas (about 1 1/2 cups mashed) and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 3 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1/4 cup of your favorite liqueur (optional) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Stir in 1 cup chopped almonds.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the mashed bananas, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once completely cool, drizzle with your favorite glaze (recipe not included, use store-bought or your own preferred recipe).
  12. Slice and serve. Makes 16-20 servings.
