Need a dessert to bring when you have Christmas with the family this holiday season? Here’s a quick easy recipe to try out!
Ingredients:
Baking spray with flour (such as Baker’s Joy)
13.5 ounces all-purpose flour (about 3 cups)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
12 tablespoons butter, softened
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
1 cup chopped ripe banana
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Coat 18 mini Bundt cups with baking spray.
- Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cinnamon in a bowl, stirring well with a whisk.
- Place granulated sugar and 12 tablespoons butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately to butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Fold banana, pecans, and pineapple into batter.
- Spoon batter evenly into prepared pans. Bake at 350° for 18 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in centers comes out with moist crumbs clinging. Cool 5 minutes in pans on a wire rack; remove from pans.
- Combine powdered sugar, melted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla; stir until smooth. Drizzle over cakes.
Doubling Up: You’ll only need a touch of the glaze, but for sugar hounds, you can double the glaze and garnish with more.
