CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA BREAD BUNDT CAKE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, grease or spray a bundt pan and lightly dust with cocoa powder.
• Mix together dry ingredients, set aside.
• Cream butter, add sugar and eggs, mix well,then add bananas and mix briefly.
• Mix in dry ingredients until incorporated, don't over mix, stir in chocolate chips.
• Pour into prepared pan and bake 50- 60 minutes until it tests done, cake will just start to pull away from edges.
• Cool slightly then remove from pan.
• Your supposed to let it cool all the way then dust with confectionary sugar, but my kids always slice it warm, which is good with vanilla ice cream .
• Note:.
• I always use a pan release spray and dust with the cocoa, and have almost never had a problem with the cake sticking. If greasing the pan - do it well and use a bit more cocoa as you would flour.

Steps:

• Center a rack in the oven and preheat to 350°F Generously butter a 9- to 10-inch (12 cup) Bundt pan. (If you use a silicone pan there's no need to butter it.) Don't place the pan on a baking sheet - you want the oven's heat to circulate through the Bundt's inner tube.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt together.
• Working with a stand mixer, preferably fitted with a paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add the sugar and beat at medium speed until pale and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla, then add the eggs one at a time, beating for about 1 minute after each egg goes inches Reduce the mixer speed to low and mix in the bananas. Finally, mix in half the dry ingredients (don't be disturbed when the batter curdles), all the sour cream and then the rest of the flour mixture. Scrape the batter into the pan, rap the pan on the counter to debubble the batter and smooth the top.
• Bake for 65-75 minutes, or until a thin knife inserted deep into the center of the cake comes out clean. Check the cake after about 30 minutes - if it is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with a foil tent. Transfer the cake to a rack and cool for 10 minutes before unmolding onto the rack to cool to room temperature. If you have time, wrap the cooled cake in plastic and allow it to sit overnight before serving - it's even better the next day.
• OPTIONAL LEMONY WHITE ICING: Sift 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar into a bowl and squeeze in enough fresh lemon juice (start with 2 teaspoons and add more by drops) to make an icing thin enough to drizzle down the Bundt's curves.
• MUFFIN OPTION: Halve the recipe. You can add nuts or chocolate chips. Bake 28-32 minutes. Yields 12 muffins.
