Chocolate-Banana Bundt Cake image

I often have ripe bananas and as much as I love banana bread I was looking for something totally different. I found this recipe by María del Mar Sacasa. Its absolutely wonderful. Interesting combination of banana and chocolate in a decadent cake.

I found this recipe to be a bit confusing. The instructions were not very clear and I ended up with a cake that was too dense.

This cake was a bit too dry for my taste, but the flavor was good.
