Instructions

Preheat & Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan or a loaf pan.

Mix the Batter

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Mix in the mashed bananas and vanilla pudding mix until smooth.

Combine Dry & Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Mix until just combined.

Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt or loaf pan.
Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the Glaze (Optional)

In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Drizzle over the cooled cake before serving.
