Bananas Foster Bourbon Bundt Cakes

Say that three times fast…. after eating some of this glaze icing. How often do you all find yourself sitting around the house in your adult-fit onesie, watching YouTube recordings of early seasons of The Great British Bake Off, an Old Fashioned in hand, thinking of new blog recipe ideas? That’s a regular Saturday morning breakfast for me.

I realize that it becomes risky business (no relation to the film) to try an incorporate bourbon into just about everything, but I can’t seem to help it. I always end up thinking of something, usually sweet, and deciding that a splash or twelve of Kentucky gold would make it that much better.

Maybe it’s just the Kentucky boy in me, even though I’m fairly certain my parents didn’t actually put bourbon in my baby bottle. Banana and bourbon go together like… well… banana and bourbon. It just sounds right, doesn’t it? Making bananas foster with bourbon is one of my favorite desserts. You should probably give that a try, too.

If you are anything like myself, you bought bananas to do exactly that, let them sit for wayyyy too long, and convinced yourself that you were going to be all kinds of fancy and use them for something anyway. #sustainability

Banana bread is such a typical use for older nanners, and for good reason, but I wanted something different this time (although bourbon banana bread is obviously a logical choice for another upcoming recipe, I think). Milkshakes and pudding are also great ways to use up those more seasoned bananas. Anyway… back to the bourbon.

Bundt cakes are fine and all, but when I was doing a bit of boozy brainstorming for this recipe, I remembered that I had a heavy-as-f*$! mini bundt cake pan on the shelf that I had never before used. If there is anything I can do to support my weekend estate sale kitchen stuff buying addiction, I’ll do it. I picked this cast iron pan forever ago and couldn’t bear it getting tossed into the donate box when I recently moved.

Speaking of moving… bourbon (click to see more) also helps that process. I guess I should say that bourbon is currently helping that process. A couple months later, and I am finally getting ready to swap out for new furniture that fits the industrial modern (is that right, Pinterest kids??) look of the new place. More on that coming to the blog after I finish my drink and these cakes…

I’m rambling again. Anyway… this has bananas. It’s basically Crossfit-ready. Have two. — Enjoy!
