Hummingbird Bundt Cake Recipe

I have yet to find the trick to buying bananas. Either I don’t buy enough, and my kids eat them all up as soon as we get home from the grocery store, or I buy too many, and we have unwanted spotted bananas hanging out on the counter.

For me, bananas are perfect when they’re still pretty green. By the time that they’re fully yellow, they’re too ripe for me, and my kids like their bananas the same way. So, it’s easy for us to end up with overripe bananas that need to be repurposed.

This Hummingbird Bundt Cake is actually one of the things that I love to make with those ripe bananas. If you’ve never had hummingbird cake, it’s like banana bread meets carrot cake. This version is super easy to make because it’s made in the bundt pan instead of in layers (affiliate link).

One of my favorite things about bundt cakes is how easy it is to make them look good. Just drizzle your icing on, sprinkle with a little toasted coconut, and you’re set!
