Banana Almond Cake Recipe

Melt 1/4 cup of the butter. Take 2 tablespoons of that melted butter and pour it into an 8-cup bundt pan.

Brush the butter thoroughly over the pan's sides and bottom, making sure every crevice is coated.

Sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared bundt pan.

Combine the remaining brown sugar mixture with the remaining melted butter (which should be 2 tablespoons, if you started with 1/4 cup and used 2 tablespoons for the pan). Set this aside; it will be the cake's filling.

Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly.

Spoon the reserved brown sugar-almond mixture (the one combined with butter) evenly over the batter. Carefully cover this filling with the remaining batter, spreading it gently to enclose the filling.

Bake the cake in a 350 degrees oven until a long wooden skewer inserted into the thickest part comes out clean, which should take about 50 minutes. The top should be golden brown and spring back when lightly pressed.

Let the cake cool in the bundt pan on a wire rack for about 5 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a serving plate to cool completely.
