Banana-Cinnamon Cake

I sometimes take my ripe bananas and make banana bread or muffins. This time I decided to try something new--this was really good and would be great for a brunch (also got this idea from bettycrocker.com)

Ingredients:
1 pkg yellow cake mix
1/2 C water
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (2 medium)
1/2 C butter, softened
2 tsp ground cinnamon
3 eggs
1/2 C chopped walnuts

Cinnamon Glaze:
1/2 C cream cheese frosting (I used store bought, but you could make your own)
2-3 tsp milk
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon to sprinkle on top

Instructions:
1. Heat oven to 350--grease bundt pan
2. Beat cake mix, water, bananas, butter, cinnamon & eggs with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes. Stir in walnuts. Pour in pan.
3. Bake 40-50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Turn pan upside down onto plate, remove pan & let cake cool completely (about 2 hours). Stir glaze ingredients (except for cinnamon) in small bowl until its thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle cover the cake and sprinkle cinnamon on top.
