Ingredients
Betty Crocker SuperMoist Yellow Cake Mix
1 (18-ounce box)
Water
1/2 (cup)
Very ripe bananas
1 (cup mashed (about 2 medium))
Butter
1/2 (cup, softened)
Ground cinnamon
2 (teaspoons)
Eggs
3 (large)
Chopped walnuts
1/2 (cup)
Ready-to-spread cream cheese frosting
1/2 (cup)
Milk
2-3 (tablespoons)
Ground cinnamon
1/4 (teaspoon)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup bundt cake pan thoroughly with shortening and lightly flour it to prevent sticking.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, very ripe mashed bananas, softened butter, ground cinnamon, and eggs. Using an electric mixer, beat the mix on low speed for 30 seconds to incorporate the ingredients, then increase the speed to medium for 2 minutes, making sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl occasionally. Fold in the chopped walnuts with a spatula for an added crunch.
3
Carefully pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Bake in the preheated oven for 43 to 53 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
4
Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. To release the cake, carefully invert the pan onto a wire rack or a heatproof serving plate, gently removing the pan once the cake has released.
5
Allow the cake to cool completely on the rack before drizzling with the Cinnamon Glaze.
6
For the Cinnamon Glaze, combine the ready-to-spread cream cheese frosting with 2 to 3 tablespoons of milk and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and thin enough to drizzle over the cake.
7
Finally, drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to cascade down the sides. For an extra touch, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top for presentation.
