For the Frosting

Tips

• Fully soften your cream cheese and butter to avoid grainy frosting.
• Mix your wet and dry banana bread ingredients until just combined to avoid tough bread.
• Cool your cakes completely before frosting them to ensure the frosting doesn’t thin and slide off of them.
• Bring all of your cold ingredients to room temperature before mixing them for the best texture.
• If your bundt cakes don’t immediately release, give them a few firm taps on the sides and base.
