THE CAKE
4 very ripe medium size bananas
2 c sugar
1 c vegetable oil
3 beaten eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
THE CHOCOLATE GLAZE
3 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp cocoa, unsweetened
3 Tbsp milk
1 c confectioners sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

1. Grease a large bundt pan. I make a paste with 1 melted tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of flour. Then paint a coating with a pastry brush, on the inside of the pan. Your cake will release with ease.
2. Mash the bananas well, until smooth Add the sugar, vegetable oil, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture, until just mixed. Don't over mix.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Preheat oven, and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Check with toothpick. Every oven's different, it took 1 hour in my oven.
5. Cool in pan for 15 minutes, before removing from pan, to cool completely before glazing.
6. THE GLAZE Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add cocoa and stir until smooth. Add milk, stirring until well blended. Remove from heat and beat in the confectioners sugar and vanilla until smooth. Let cool to thicken, stirring occasionally. (I even pop it into the fridge to help it along) Drizzle over cooled cake.
7. Enjoy!
