BANANA-CHOCOLATE CHIP CAKE



Banana-Chocolate Chip Cake image

This cake is so good it should be illegal! It's very easy to make, just throw all the ingredients into the mixing bowl and let the beaters do the work. I got this from Betty Crocker's Cookbook 1978, my husband's kitchen bible from his bachelor days.

Time 1h

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/3 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups bananas, fully ripe, mashed (about 3 medium)
2/3 cup butter
2/3 cup buttermilk (I use soured milk)
3 eggs
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup butter, Softened
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 -3 tablespoons milk or 2 -3 tablespoons half-and-half

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour oblong pan, 9x13x2 inches.
  • Beat all ingredients, except chocolate chips, in large mixer bowl on low speed, scraping bowl constantly, 30 seconds. Beat on high speed, scraping bowl occasionally, 3 minutes.
  • Stir in chocolate chips by hand.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake until toothpick or cake tester inserted in center comes out clean, approximately 45 minutes.
  • Cool cake completely and frost with Vanilla Butter Frosting.
  • To make VANILLA BUTTER FROSTING:.
  • Blend powdered sugar into butter.
  • Stir in vanilla and milk.
  • Beat until frosting is smooth and of spreading consistency.
  • Hint #1. For best results, be sure the bananas you use for cakes are fully ripened. If you use firm bananas, the cake will not have the fragrance or the flavor.
  • Hint #2. To sour milk: Add 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. For this recipe, use 2 teaspoons vinegar or lemon juice for 2/3 cup milk.
  • Hint #3. When it comes to homemade frosting, I usually increase the recipe by one-half; so in this case, I used 4 ½ cups powdered sugar, 7 ½ tablespoons butter, and 2 ¼ teaspoons vanilla (using the same measuring spoons, 1 ½ teaspoons first, and then ½ and ¼ teaspoons vanilla).

Categories     dessert

Time 5h15m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Butter-flavored cooking spray
1/2 cup mashed ripe banana
2 tablespoons hazelnut liqueur, such as Frangelico
One 15.5-ounce box banana nut muffin mix, such as Betty Crocker
1/2 cup evaporated milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 egg
1 teaspoon rum extract
One 16-ounce can cream cheese frosting
1 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Spray the bottom of a 1 1/2-quart souffle dish with cooking spray. Line the bottom of the souffle dish with parchment paper and give a quick spray with cooking spray; set aside.
  • Make a foil ring 1-inch thick for the souffle dish to sit on inside a 5-quart slow cooker.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the bananas with the hazelnut liqueur. Add the muffin mix, evaporated milk, oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, chocolate chips and egg. Stir together until just blended.
  • Transfer to the prepared souffle dish. Place the dish on top of the foil ring in the slow cooker. Lay 8 paper towels over top of the slow cooker bowl and secure with the lid. (This helps to trap steam.) Cook on LOW setting for 4 to 5 hours.
  • Remove the cake and allow to cool completely.
  • Cut the cake in half horizontally. Stir the rum extract into the cream cheese frosting and frost in between the layers and outside of the cake with the mixture. Garnish the sides of cake with chopped walnuts. Slice and serve.

YUMMY, EASY CHOCOLATE BANANA CAKE

So easy, so good! Only 3 ingredients. This recipe was a happy mistake. I misread a recipe and discovered this fantastic treat! It has a different texture than a regular cake. Sort of a cross between cake and brownies, it has a lovely chewiness. Lovely hot out of the oven alone or with ice cream, or when cool topped with whipped cream.

BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP CAKE



Banana Chocolate Chip Cake image

This tender cake is different from all the banana breads out there - possibly because Jim Lahey brings his celebrated skills as a bread baker to the recipe, which we adapted from "The Sullivan Street Bakery Cookbook." The spices, molasses and dark brown sugar combine for an intense, fragrant and almost caramel-like richness, while the mix of butter and olive oil make the crumb melt in the mouth. Be sure to use very ripe bananas for the best flavor; they should be spotted with brown and soft.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 35m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 stick/6 tablespoons/84 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature, more for greasing pan
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon/135 grams all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup/60 milliliters extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup/80 grams granulated sugar
1/4 cup/40 grams dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons espresso or strong coffee, cooled (optional)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 cup smashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
Generous 1/2 cup/120 grams bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and fine sea salt.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter, oil, sugar, brown sugar, molasses, allspice, cinnamon, espresso and vanilla until just combined. The secret to this cake's texture is to stop mixing before the sugar is dissolved.
  • Use a spatula to mix egg into butter mixture, then stir in flour mixture just to combine. Fold in bananas and chocolate chips. Scrape batter into prepared cake pan and bake until top is golden and sides begin to pull away from pan, about 25 minutes.
  • Let cool for at least 20 minutes (or longer, until completely cooled), then run a thin spatula around the edges to separate from the pan. Invert onto a serving plate. Cake will keep for 1 day, covered.

Tips:

  • To ensure your cake turns out moist and fluffy, make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • To prevent the bananas from browning too quickly, toss them in a little bit of lemon juice or pineapple juice before adding them to the batter.
  • For a richer flavor, use melted butter instead of vegetable oil.
  • To make sure your cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
