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.

1 teaspoon instant coffee (optional) or 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)

  • Mix together dry ingredients, set aside.
  • Cream butter, add sugar and eggs, mix well,then add bananas and mix briefly.

  • 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.

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.

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.

VEGAN CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA CAKE



Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Cake image

This vegan delight came to The New York Times by way of Chloe Coscarelli, the vegan chef and cookbook author. The tender loaf is gently spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger and dotted throughout with dairy-free chocolate chips. Bonus: It's versatile. You can make it in a Bundt pan, a 10-inch loaf pan or in a muffin tin (it makes about 18 muffins). To quote one happy reader: "Delicious! Like my platonic ideal of chocolate-chip banana bread." High praise, indeed.

ICE CREAM SANDWICHES WITH CHOCOLATE ALMOND CAKE AND MARCEL'S CARAMEL-BANANA-CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM



Ice Cream Sandwiches with Chocolate Almond Cake and Marcel's Caramel-Banana-Chocolate Chip Ice Cream image

Our homemade ice-cream sandwiches get raves when we serve them for lunch at the Workshop. We assemble them with cake instead of cookies to make them easier to eat. You can use any homemade or store-bought ice cream, but this caramel-banana-chocolate chip invention from pastry chef Marcel Desaulnier, who participated in the 1989 Workshop, is beyond delicious.

Yield serves 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon melted butter, for brushing
1 3/4 cups sifted powdered sugar
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons almond meal
12 large egg whites, at room temperature
Kosher salt
5 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 pound ripe bananas
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup heavy cream
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup chocolate chips or coarsely chopped bittersweet chocolate

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12 by 17-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and brush the sides of the baking sheet with melted butter.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, then stir in the almond meal.
  • In an electric stand mixer or in a large bowl with handheld electric beaters, whip the egg whites until frothy, then add a pinch of salt. Whip the whites to soft peaks, then add the sugar gradually. Continue whipping until the peaks are firm yet glossy. Gently fold in one-third of the dry ingredients, then fold in the remainder.
  • Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly. Bake until the cake springs back when touched, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely, then place the baking sheet in the freezer until the cake is cold.
  • For the ice cream: Peel the bananas and mash them roughly with a wooden spoon. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly against the mashed bananas, and set aside.
  • In a saucepan, combine 6 tablespoons of the sugar, the lemon juice, and 1/4 cup water. Cook over medium heat, swirling the pan until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and cook until the syrup begins to turn a rich caramel color, about 3 minutes. Once it begins to change color, it darkens quickly, so watch carefully, swirling the pan so the caramel cooks evenly. Remove the pan from the heat and add the half-and-half and cream-carefully, as they will splatter. Stir in another 6 tablespoons sugar and return the pan to medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring with a wooden spoon to dissolve the caramel.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the remaining 6 tablespoons sugar until thick and pale. Whisk in about 1 cup of the hot caramel mixture to warm the egg mixture, then pour the combined mixture into the saucepan of caramel and cook, stirring, until it visibly thickens and reaches 178°F on an instant-read thermometer. Pour over the bananas and stir well. Chill quickly in an ice bath. When cold, stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Churn in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a freezer container and freeze until the ice cream is firm enough to spread without melting.
  • Take the cake from the freezer. Put a sheet of parchment paper and a cooling rack on top, then invert the cake. Remove the baking sheet and top sheet of parchment, and cut the cake in half across the middle of the long side. Spread one half with ice cream, making an evenly thick layer. Invert the other half, including the parchment sheet under it, over the ice cream. Return the cake to the freezer for at least 2 hours.
  • To serve, take the cake from the freezer and remove the top sheet of parchment. With a serrated knife, trim the edges of the cake neatly. Cut the cake in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 5 triangles. Transfer the triangles to a serving platter, lifting them away from the bottom sheet of parchment. Serve immediately.

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).
