Banana Bread Pudding Cake

Let’s get baking!

What You’ll Need

For the Bread Pudding Cake:

• 4 cups cubed banana bread (slightly stale works best)
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 2 cups whole milk (or half-and-half for extra richness)
• 3 eggs
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp salt
• 2 tbsp melted butter

For the Topping (Optional but amazing!):

• Caramel sauce
• Powdered sugar
• Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

Pro Tips

1. Use slightly stale banana bread—it soaks up the custard better!
2. Don’t skip the resting time—let the bread soak in the custard for extra flavor.
3. Bake until golden brown—the center should be set but still soft.
4. For extra indulgence, add chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
5. Serve warm with caramel sauce or ice cream for the best experience!
