Kahlua Banana Brunch Cake
Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 3 ripe bananas, mashed
– 1/2 cup Kahlua liqueur
– 1/4 cup sour cream
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a Bundt pan with butter or cooking spray, ensuring all sides are well coated.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
3. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
5. Stir in the mashed bananas, Kahlua liqueur, sour cream, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until no lumps remain and the batter is thick and creamy.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure it fills the pan evenly.
8. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once the cake has cooled, you can optionally dust the top with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and a touch of Kahlua for added flavor.
