Banana Chocolate Chip - I Like Big Bundts 2011

Banana Chocolate Chip Bundt

I Like Big Bundts - Day #8

We all have great intentions. Like exercising everyday. Putting away the dishes as soon as they're dry. Making your bed. And eating all the bananas you bought.

This cake may not help with the exercise bit, but it will take care of those bananas!

Whoo hoo! We are on Day #8 of my marathon bundt making adventure because I Like Big Bundts! November 15th is National Bundt Day and I hope you make a bundt to celebrate!

This bundt is based on Dorie Greenspan's awesome Banana Bundt in her book, Baking: From my Home to Yours. That was my pick for Tuesdays with Dorie and it was well loved by the bakers! I promise you'll love it. I added one cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips to the recipe for an even more delicious treat.

This bundt can be eaten plain or with just a touch of powdered sugar. With bananas, sour cream and butter or yogurt? It is so moist!

Happy Monday! If you have some bananas sitting around, be sure to make this deliciousness.

Highlights said... [Reply to comment]: Hi! I made two of these for a party on Sunday and 2 additional pumpkin bundts as well! I frosted one of each with cream cheese frosting and one of each with a chocolate fudge frosting. The banana was the favorite (with cream cheese frosting) but they were all so good. I ate way too much. Thanks for the great recipe--I'll definitely be back and I'll make this one again!; November 2, 2011 at 6:35 AM

The Food Librarian said... [Reply to comment]: @Vanessa I think many of the cakes can be made into cupcakes, but I can't make any guarantees. I think this bundt will make a good muffin/cupcake (since it is dense, it is more of a dense muffin than light cupcake). Be sure to adjust the temperature and check for doneness.
