Tips for making the bundt cake:
This cake is fairly simple and not too difficult to mess up, but just keep these things in mind when making your bundt cake.
- Makes sure to grease and flour your bundt pan well so that your cake pops out easily. You don’t want to go through all that work only for the cake to stick in the pan.
- Using a GF Baking blend such as Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 or a GF white blend works best. Some of the bean based baking blends change the flavor of the cake.
- Mash your bananas well, and try not to have too much chunks, this can affect the cake results.
- Want to bump up the coffee flavor, add a teaspoon of instant coffee to your cake batter.
Our final tip: Slice up that cake and drizzle on some more coffee glaze before serving. It is amazing! Enjoy foodies!

If I don’t have a bundt pan, will any other pan work for this recipe? Thank you!

Yes you can use another pan, just monitor it as its baking to see when it’s done.
