Chocolate Banana Bundt Cake

Created by KittenCal on June 15, 2013

CAKE
2 cups mashed ripe bananas (3 large bananas)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup baking cocoa (a good quality is recommended)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup oil (vegetable or canola, although I have used extra virgin olive oil in many cake recipes with success)

2 cups brown sugar (a mix of light and dark)
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract (or to kick it up a notch 2 tablespoons dark rum)
1 1/2 cups low-fat buttermilk
1/2 cup semi-Sweet chocolate chips
CHOCOLATE GLAZE
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
6 tablespoons wholemilk (or half and half)

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Step 2: Position oven rack to second-lowest position.
Step 3: Generously grease and flour a 10-inch bundt cake pan.
Step 4: In a small bowl, mix together mashed banana and lemon juice. Set aside.
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.
