How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

  • Step 2: Position oven rack to second-lowest position.

  • Step 5: In a medium bowl, mix together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

  • Step 6: In a large bowl, beat oil and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time and add vanilla. Blend in half the flour mixture and half the buttermilk, then mix in remaining flour and buttermilk.

  • Step 7: Fold in bananas and 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips.

  • Step 8: Transfer into prepared bundt pan.

  • Step 9: Bake until a skewer inserted into the thickest part of the cake comes out with only a few moist crumbs, about 55-60minutes.

  • Step 10: Cool in pan, set on cooling rack, for 30 minutes before turning out onto a cake plate.

  • Step 11: TO MAKE GLAZE: melt remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips with whole milk or half and half in a small microwaveable bowl on HIGH for 1 minutes then whisk together until smooth. Drizzle over cake.
