Ingredients
  

3 ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and granulated sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add in the eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

      Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

        Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the Greek yogurt. Start and finish with the flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

          Fold in Nuts: If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans. This adds a delightful crunch to your cake.

            Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

              Cool Down: Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.

                Dust with Powdered Sugar: Once the cake has cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish and extra sweetness.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Slice the cake and serve it as a delightful dessert or with your afternoon tea. Enjoy the moist, flavorful banana bundt cake!
