Updated March 26, 2019 Halloween is over and most of us are probably still loaded with candy. We had a decent amount of trick or treaters, but we still ended up with leftover candy. Someday I will learn to not buy so much:) I was digging through our bowl of candy to see what was left and pulled out all of the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. There were enough leftover to do a little baking. I decided to make a Peanut Butter Banana Bundt Cake with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. I love peanut butter and banana together. I’ve made ice cream, cookies, so why not a cake?
I used Dorie Greenspan’s Classic Banana Bundt Cake recipe, from Baking From My Home to Yours, as the base-I love this cake. It is simple to make and a great way to use up your brown bananas. The banana flavor isn’t overpowering, which makes it perfect for playing around with.
I jazzed up the banana cake by adding chopped up Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. I also swirled in peanut butter into the cake batter before putting the cake into the oven. Our house smelled like peanut butter, bananas, and chocolate. It doesn’t get much better than that. When the cake was cool, I added a thick and creamy peanut butter glaze to the top of the cake. The glaze alone is amazing. I would have been perfectly content sitting down with a bowl of the glaze and a spoon:) Don’t worry, I didn’t let the cake go to waste, I cut myself a piece and enjoyed every single bite.
The cake is tender, moist, and full of flavor. Each bite is bursting with peanut butter banana goodness. And just when you think the cake can’t get any better, you get a chunk of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. Pure bliss! I sure hope you have some Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups leftover from Halloween because you really need to make this Peanut Butter Banana Bundt Cake with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. It is calling your name, trust me, I can hear it:)
We’ve gotten lots of questions about what our “little pea” was for Halloween. I wanted to dress him up as a pea pod, but couldn’t find a small enough costume. So instead, he was a frog. Our talented sister-in-law, Whitney, makes the cutest little beanies and sent Caleb a froggy. It was the perfect costume for his first Halloween. Thanks Whit!
