caramel banana bundt cakeAnd this is the month I was waiting for so long, because we made delicious and irresistible caramel bundt, yes so sweet and gooey good the you never ever would look a bundt cake with the same eyes.
And this is because caramel is just my favorite, well that and coconut, I cook, make and created a lot of my sweet recipes with coconut and caramel, yum, and maybe is because back in home those are like an every day staples in the kitchen, making sweet recipes required caramel or dulce de leche all the time.
It is just delicious, and in this occasion I really want it to make something new and different, and is so funny, I made my bundt with some caramel filling, but it kinda got stuck on the pan, but it is still so delicious, gooey and oh my incredibly addictive, oh I forgot to tell you the I add some banana for a “healthy” approach.
As I always said enjoy and I hope you like it.
