Flavor Duo

There is a reason some flavors are just classics. Peanut butter and jelly. Chocolate and marshmallows. Steak and eggs. And Gluten Free Strawberry-Banana Bundt Cake.

With two cups of fresh strawberries this cake packs a punch of sweet summery flavor into every bite. The ripe banana adds both a natural sweetness while also lending to the texture keeping every bite irresistibly moist.

One of my favorite accents to strawberries that highlights their flavor is almond. A splash of almond extract gives this cake that little something special that will have your family going back for another bite.

Crowning this beautiful and festive cake is the perfect drizzle of glaze. While it’s completely optional I love adding just a dash of red food coloring to my glaze for that vibrant burst of color.

How to Measure Bananas

We’ve all made banana bread or seen recipes that call for half a cup or a cup of bananas. But how much do you actually need when it comes to measuring bananas themselves? When it comes to measuring bananas, a recipe can state whether it’s chopped, or mashed, as in most banana bread recipes. However, they both measure slightly differently! Keep in mind that when adding bananas to a recipe more banana doesn’t equal more flavor. Instead, it could leave you with a dense or mushy finished product. Instead, you want to use the ripest bananas possible for the most intense banana flavor. 

How to Measure Bananas

Here is an easy guide to use the next time you need to measure out fresh banana for a recipe. 

  • 1/2 banana: 1/3 cup chopped | 1/4 cup mashed
  • 1 banana: 2/3 cup chopped | 1/2 cup mashed
  • 1-1/2 bananas: 1 cup chopped | 3/4 cup mashed
  • 2 bananas: 1-1/3 cups chopped | 1 cup mashed
  • 3 bananas: 2 cups chopped | 1-1/2 cups mashed
  • 4 bananas: 2-2/3 cups chopped | 2 cups mashed
