Chocolate Banana Cake Recipe

This chocolate banana cake is more of a chocolate pound cake than a banana cake. The banana flavor is subtle. But the bananas also lend moisture to this cake mix recipe. Of all the cake mix recipes I make (and I make many), this one, by far, is the one I get the most requests for.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 devil's food cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips or cinnamon chips
  • powdered sugar for dusting

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Spray a tube pan or bundt pan with cooking spray.

  3. With an electric mixer, beat the cake mix, eggs, buttermilk and toil together until smooth.

  4. Beat in the mashed bananas until well-incorporated.

  5. Stir in the chips.

  6. Bake 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs attached.

  7. Turn out of pan and dust with powdered sugar.
