Instructions:
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). |
| 2 | Grease a 3-quart Bundt pan to prevent sticking. |
| 3 | Puree the ripe bananas until smooth, yielding approximately 1 cup of puree. |
| 4 | In a large mixing bowl, combine the banana puree, vanilla instant pudding mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully incorporated. |
| 5 | Beat the mixture on medium speed for about 8 minutes, ensuring to scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally for even mixing. |
| 6 | In a separate bowl, mix together the almonds, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to create the sugar mixture. |
| 7 | Pour half of the cake batter into the greased Bundt pan. |
| 8 | Sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the batter in the pan. |
| 9 | Cover the sugar mixture with the remaining cake batter. |
| 10 | Using a knife, gently swirl the batter in a figure-eight pattern through the layers. Be careful not to overmix the layers. |
| 11 | Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. |
| 12 | Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. |
| 13 | After 10 minutes, invert the cake onto the wire rack to cool completely. |
| 14 | Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with confectioners’ sugar for a sweet finish. |
| 15 | For an extra touch, garnish the cake with sliced bananas if desired before serving. |
