  • For the Cake

    1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup bundt cake pan with shortening and lightly dust with flour.
    2. In a large bowl, beat together all ingredients except bananas, nuts, and powdered sugar with an electric mixer on low speed, ensuring all ingredients are well blended.
    3. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat in the mashed bananas for 2 minutes. Gently stir in the chopped nuts.
    4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack, then carefully remove from the pan.
    5. Once completely cooled, dust the cake with powdered sugar before serving.
