Cardamom-Scented Banana Bundt Cake

Instructions

1. 1

   With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F).

2. 2

   Generously butter a 2.5 litres (10 cups) Bundt, tube or novelty cake pan.

3. 3

   In another bowl, with a fork, coarsely mash the bananas with the lemon juice. Set aside.

4. 4

   In another bowl, cream the butter with the sugar and oil with an electric mixer. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until the mixture is smooth.

5. 5

   At low speed, add dry ingredients alternately with bananas. Pour the batter into the pan and place on a baking sheet (in the case of a novelty pan). Bake for about 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool. Remove from the pan and cool completely on a rack.
