How to make Glazed Banana Bread Bundt Cake

Ingredients:

• 6 very ripe bananas, mashed
• 4 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon lemon extract
• SUGAR-LEMON GLAZE
• 1/8 cup milk, or more as needed
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups granulated sweetener (I used half Splenda, half sugar)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/3 cups toasted wheat germ
• 1 1/3 cups whole wheat flour

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spray a standard bundt cake pan with baking spray, or grease and flour.
3. Combine both flours, wheat germ, baking soda and salt together with a whisk. Set aside.
4. Beat butter and preferred sweetener together until light and fluffy.
5. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

7. Stir in flour mixture. Use a wooden spoon to mix until just moist.
8. Pour batter into bundt cake pan and level the top with your spoon as best you can.
9. Bake for about an hour. Insert a toothpick into the batter to test for doneness.
10. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes on a wire rack before turning out onto a plate or cake platter.
11. Wait for cake to cool completely before applying the glaze.

Instructions:
