Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
Step 2
Whisk cake mix and pudding mix together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center; add eggs to the well. Then add water, vegetable oil, and mashed banana; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until blended. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat on low for 4 minutes. Let batter rest for 5 minutes, then pour into the prepared pan.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out mostly clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and let cool completely.
Step 4
While the cake is cooling, cook bacon in a skillet and over medium-high heat, until evenly browned and just about crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 5
Mix confectioners' sugar, 3 tablespoons milk, maple syrup, and maple extract for glaze in a small bowl until thoroughly combined. If glaze is too thick, add a bit more milk.
Step 6
Drizzle glaze over the cooled cake, then sprinkle with bacon.
