Cinnamon Glazed Banana Cake Recipe

Cinnamon Glazed Banana Cake: Yummy cinnamon glaze tops this moist, delicious banana cake.
 

This wonderfully moist cinnamon glazed banana cake is so easy to whip up, you’ll want to make it often. It’s a great way to use up bananas that are past their prime. The nuts are optional. If you’re not crazy about cinnamon, feel free to omit it from the glaze, or cut the amount in half, but do use it in the cake itself. The batter may also be used for muffins. Simply reduce the baking time.

In a large bowl, beat sugar and oil. Add bananas, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat for 2 minutes until thoroughly combined. Using a large fork, stir in dry ingredients by hand, stirring only until combined. Batter may seem a bit thin, but it’s fine.

Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until lightly browned and top springs back when lightly touched. Let cool to room temperature.

Cinnamon Glaze:
Whisk together confectioner’s sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and milk or cream. Add only enough cream to make a spreadable glaze. Top cooled cake with cinnamon glaze before cutting.

Yield: 24 to 36 servings, depending on cut size
