I often don't like cakes when they're warm. But this one was best right out of the oven. The kitchen smelled heavenly of bananas, and I barely had time to pour the glaze over it before we cut it and started snacking. The following day, after a night in the fridge, it was still good, but more like the consistency of banana bread.
Banana Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (1 cup) butter, softened + extra for pan
2 cups sugar + extra for pan
3 eggs, room temperature
3 very ripe bananas
1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
Preheat oven to 350. Butter the Bundt pan and sprinkle with sugar. Treat sugar as you would flour, shaking it all over the pan. Set aside.
In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt with a fork. Set aside. Cream the butter with the sugar. Mix on high speed for at least one minute. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Beat in the bananas. (If they are soft, you can add them whole and beat.) Add part of the flour mixture on slow, then add part of the sour cream. Alternate adding flour and sour cream until they are incorporated. Add the vanilla and beat well for at least one to two minutes. Pour into Bundt pan. Bake 50-55 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Let it rest on a rack for about 10 minutes. Loosen any parts that might be stuck to the pan around the outer and inner edges. Flip onto a cooling rack.
Chocolate Glaze
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chocolate chips
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
Place all ingredients into a 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup. Microwave 30 seconds. Remove and try to stir with a fork. It's okay to stir the chocolate until it melts. If it's too hard, microwave for 10 seconds. When satiny smooth, pour over cooled Bundt cake.
Butter and sugar the pan! |
The batter is thick. |
Yum! |

ReplyDeleteBananas are one fruit I usually have around our house that doesn't usually get eaten as quick as other fruit and end up being thrown out. This is a wonderful idea to use them.

ReplyDeleteNecessity (and kitchen abundance) is the mother of invention.

Any idea why the cake looks shorter than the usual bundt cakes?

Yay! I found it! I absolutely love baking and will be trying this bunds cake later this week! Thanks for a chance to win! LaFonRC(at)aol.(com). Cake sounds good with tea and a cozy mystery!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win a book! I love Bundt cakes. I grew up with them, as the headquarters of NordicWare is in Minneapolis, so everybody made them when I was much younger. The old fashioned Harvey Wallbanger is still my favorite. I'll have to try this one!
ReplyDeleteIt took me so longer to get through this on my ancient iPad (it hates all the graphics), I forgot my email - kristinlundgren@icloud.com ;-)
DeleteThe cake looks delicious! I would have to modify and use a different pan. (I know someone who would eat this for breakfast because it is banana cake and therefore counts as a fruit.)
ReplyDeleteElaineE246 at msn dot com
