Banana Chocolate Bundt Cake

This banana chocolate Bundt cake is rich, moist, and packed with flavor. Ripe bananas keep the chocolate cake tender and add a natural sweetness, while mini chocolate chips are scattered throughout for little pockets of melty goodness. A glossy chocolate glaze with a warm hint of cinnamon ties it all together beautifully. It’s a delicious way to use up overripe bananas!

Instructions
 

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Spray bundt pan with Baker's Joy or grease & flour.
  • Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer until blended, scraping as needed.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Smooth evenly. Place pan in oven & bake for 38-40 minutes.
  • Remove pan from oven & cool for 20 minutes. Flip onto a cake carrier or plate, remove from pan, cover with tea towel or bread cloth, & cool for another 30-45 minutes. While the cake continues to cool, prepare the glaze.
  • Once the cake has cooled, pour glaze evenly over cake.
