Banana pudding meets pound cake! If you’ve been here for a while then you know that bundt cakes are by far one of my favorite things to bake. I’m always trying to think of different desserts that I can make into bundt cake form. When I was creating this recipe I knew it needed just the right banana flavor, the perfect cake texture and taste just like banana pudding. I think I nailed it with this one! I imagine if Magnolia Bakery made Banana Pudding Pound Cakes it would taste like this.

How to Make Pudding Bundt Cake
This recipe is made from scratch so you won’t find any cake mix in this pudding cake recipe. It takes no time at all to whip this pound cake together and I promise the few steps are so worth it. Super easy and so delicious!
Start out by spraying a 10 cup Bundt Cake pan with non-stick baking spray. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium size bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, combine the pudding mix, flour, baking powder and salt together until well combined. Set aside.
Next, take 1 ripe banana and mash it in a separate medium size bowl. To that, whisk in eggs and sugar then stir until well combined. Add in softened butter, sour cream and vanilla then mix until completely combined.
Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, mix the ingredients until just combined being sure not to overmix. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan then bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Once cooled, make the frosting by mixing cream cheese, banana cream mix, powdered sugar, heavy cream and salt. Spread evenly over the cake and enjoy.
Bundt Cake Tips
- This bundt cake has cream so it will need to be refrigerated. Place the bundt cake in a cake platter with a cover then refrigerate for up 3 days.
- Don’t overmix the batter. When the batter just comes together, remove from the mixer and stir any remaining flour with a rubber spatula.
- Spray the bundt cake: To ensure the cake won’t stick to the pan, generously grease the bundt pan with non-stick spray.
