CHOCOLATE BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP BUNDT CAKE



Chocolate Banana Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake image

After first trying this years ago my 2nd son declared -who needs banana bread?! - and this became our favorite choice for doing away with overripe bananas. The recipe originally had an optional chocolate glaze, I've always skipped it and just added a light dusting of confectionary sugar. This is a pretty sturdy cake which makes it great for picnics, potlucks and lunch bags - the same son recently took 1/2 a cake with him for the drive back to S.CA! An extra note - seeing some of the comments - this is not a tall cake it only rises a littel more than half way up the pan. Ovens are different - go with a shorter cooking time and check to see if needs more.

CHOCOLATE GLAZED BANANA BUNDT CAKE



Chocolate Glazed Banana Bundt Cake image

Who doesn't love chocolate and banana together?? This is yummy! A nice moist cake.

Provided by Debbie Sue

Categories     Cakes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 16

THE CAKE
4 very ripe medium size bananas
2 c sugar
1 c vegetable oil
3 beaten eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
THE CHOCOLATE GLAZE
3 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp cocoa, unsweetened
3 Tbsp milk
1 c confectioners sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Grease a large bundt pan. I make a paste with 1 melted tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of flour. Then paint a coating with a pastry brush, on the inside of the pan. Your cake will release with ease.
  • 2. Mash the bananas well, until smooth Add the sugar, vegetable oil, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  • 3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture, until just mixed. Don't over mix.
  • 4. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Preheat oven, and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Check with toothpick. Every oven's different, it took 1 hour in my oven.
  • 5. Cool in pan for 15 minutes, before removing from pan, to cool completely before glazing.
  • 6. THE GLAZE Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add cocoa and stir until smooth. Add milk, stirring until well blended. Remove from heat and beat in the confectioners sugar and vanilla until smooth. Let cool to thicken, stirring occasionally. (I even pop it into the fridge to help it along) Drizzle over cooled cake.
  • 7. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be. You can tell a banana is ripe when the peel is mostly yellow with some brown spots.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Use buttermilk: Buttermilk helps to give the cake a tender, moist crumb. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a well-greased and floured bundt pan: This will help to prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the cake cool completely before inverting it onto a serving plate: This will help to prevent the cake from breaking.

Conclusion:

Chocolate banana bundt cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, tender crumb and sweet, chocolatey flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this chocolate banana bundt cake a try.
