BANANA CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS AND WALNUTS



Banana Cake With Chocolate Chips and Walnuts image

Provided by David Latt

Categories     breakfast, brunch, easy, lunch, dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 ripe bananas
1 1/2 tablespoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sweet butter, room temperature
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2/3 cup half and half
2 1/2 cups flour
Pinch of sea salt
Pinch of cayenne
1/2 cup raw walnuts
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and paint the inside of a 9 x 3 round cake pan, then put the pan in the freezer for 30 minutes. (The frozen butter prevents the batter from sticking to the pan.) On a cookie sheet bake the walnuts in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes or so; let cool, roughly chop, and set aside.
  • In a bowl mash the bananas with a fork, add the baking soda and vanilla. Stir well and set aside. In a mixer use the whisk to cream together the softened butter and both sugars. Add the eggs, mashed bananas, half and half and whisk until blended. Mix in the flour half a cup at a time, being careful not to over-beat. Remove the bowl from the mixer. Use a rubber spatula to blend in the walnuts and chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the buttered cake pan; it will only fill the pan half-way.
  • Bake the cake in a 350 oven for 60-70 minutes, turning the pan every 20 minutes so the cake cooks evenly. Test to see if the cake is done by inserting a wooden skewer. If the top is browning too quickly, lightly lay a sheet of aluminum foil over the top. When the skewer comes out clean, take the cake out of the oven and place it on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan, putting it back on the wire rack to finish cooling.
  • Just before serving dust the top with powdered sugar and shaved chocolate. Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream.

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 bananas (organic, which tend t be smaller)
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar (try turbinado, which has molasses)
1/2 cup applesauce (flavored OK)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups whole wheat pastry flour (all-purpose OK)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup mini chocolate chip
2/3 cup walnuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Mash bananas; push to side, leaving a space along bowl's side.
  • Beat eggs along empty side of bowl, then combine with bananas.
  • Stir in sugar, applesauce, vanilla and salt.
  • Shake lightly and evenly across surface of batter, the flour and soda; mix just enough to incorporate.
  • Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts. Go easy on chocolate chips because they can overwhelm the cake.
  • Pour into greased and floured 7"x11" pyrex glass baking dish (or muffin tins, bundt rounds, etc).
  • Bake 40 minutes at 350-degrees (less for muffins, etc.).
  • Frosting is unnecessary but cream cheese (8 oz) & butter (4 Tb) with any flavoring (any syrup, orange concentrate) is yummy.

Categories     Chocolate     Fruit     Nut     Dessert     Bake     Low Fat     Banana     Walnut     Healthy     Self     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup Splenda Sugar Blend for Baking
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoon baking soda
4 large overly ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup plain lowfat yogurt
2 egg whites
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup walnuts, chopped
Vegetable-oil cooking spray
Frosting
1 cup lowfat milk
3/4 cup Splenda Sugar Blend for Baking
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine flours, Splenda, cocoa, and baking soda. Add bananas, yogurt, egg whites, vanilla, and 1/2 cup walnuts. Stir. Coat a 9" x 13" cake pan with cooking spray. Pour batter into pan, spreading evenly. Bake about 35 minutes. Cool. Raise oven to 375°F. Toast remaining 1/4 cup walnuts 6 minutes. To make frosting, pour 1/4 cup milk into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in Splenda, cocoa, and cornstarch. Slowly add remaining 3/4 cup milk and bring to a low boil, stirring continuously until thick. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. Cool and spread over cake. Sprinkle walnuts over cake.

Tips:

  • For a moist and flavorful cake, use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the cake will be.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Use a combination of all-purpose flour and cake flour. Cake flour will help to give the cake a finer crumb.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts at the end. This will help to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This banana cake with chocolate chips and walnuts is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. It is perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special celebration. With its moist and flavorful crumb, and its rich and decadent frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
