I prefer to make this cake a day ahead of time to allow the moisture and taste from the glaze to seep through the cake.
I have 4 super ripe bananas in the kitchen, you can smell banana when you enter the room. I would usually have one of 2 reactions: toss them or make banana bread. I almost decided on the latter. However, I already know the Queen of Banana Bread is Lia Donato, and since I don’t like being a runner up, I had to go for something different. Banana Cake! Yep, Banana Cake with Spiced Rum! Yep, Banana Cake with Spiced Rum, Walnuts and Raisins! Yep, that’s it. A Banana Cake with Spiced Rum, Walnuts and Raisins. What could be bad?
I used a Bundt pan, but it can be made in a 9” x 2” round cake pan. I have lots of fancy Bundt pans, but I decided to use a regular round one for this since it is New Year and it should be a continuing circle. Plus, when a round Bundt pan is used, the glaze not only is poured on the top and sides, but also in the middle. Yum
