A moist, tender banana bundt cake with a creamy glaze. Ripe bananas and sour cream keep the cake ultra-soft while a simple cream cheese glaze adds a sweet finish.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-12 cup bundt pan, tapping out any excess flour.
In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
Mix in the mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two additions, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any large air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
For the glaze, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until combined. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach a pourable consistency.
Once the cake is fully cooled, drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the top, letting it run down the sides. Slice and serve.
