Spiced Apple and Banana Bundt Cake

So we're going to trying this blogging thing out. I love to bake and cook and it always seems people are asking me for recipes. So I thought that as I made recipes I enjoy that I would snap a quick photo and post them here, and hopefully soon I'll have a little collection for people to choose from. Hope you enjoy, Stephanie

Here is a recipe I tried for the first time the other day, (yes, I have a huge collection of need to try recipes, that often sit there for years before I get to them :) ) Anyways it turned out pretty good, which was good because I served it all to company and I really like that it used up that last of my apples and some bananas that were well ripened.


Spiced Apple and Banana Bundt Cake
1/4c. melted butter (I used margarine)
1/4c. oil
5-6oz. yogurt or sour cream (small 3/4cup)
2 eggs
1c. sugar
1/4c. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1/2tsp. cinnamon
1/4tsp. ginger
1/4tsp. nutmeg
1/4tsp. cloves
1c. mashed banana
1c. shredded apples
2c. flour
1 1/2tsp. baking soda
1/2tsp. salt

Mix butter, oil, yogurt, eggs, sugar, vanilla and spices till smooth. Add bananas and apples till just combined. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda and salt, then add to wet mixture till just combined. Pour into greased bundt pan and bake at 350 for 40 minutes. Allow to sit for 15 minutes before removing from pan to cool. When cool glaze with following Vanilla Caramel Glaze, mmm fall has arrived:)

Vanilla Caramel Glaze
1/4c. melted butter (or margarine)
1/3c. brown sugar
2Tbsp milk
1Tbsp vanilla
1 1/2 to 2 cups icing sugar

Rapidly boil butter and brown sugar for 2 minutes, stirring continuously. Allow to sit 1 minute before adding cream. Stir cream in vigorously, then whisk in vanilla. Add icing sugar 1/2 cup at a time till it reaches a still pourable but not run right off the cake consistency.
