BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP COFFEE CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat oven and prepare cake pan: Preheat your oven to 350 F degrees. Spray a 10 inch angel food cake pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, walnuts and chocolate chips.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another medium bowl mash the bananas using a fork or a potato masher. Add the sour cream, eggs, applesauce, vanilla extract and granulated sugar and whisk everything together.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the flour and using a spatula mix everything together.
- Prepare filling: In another small bowl combine all the filling ingredients together.
- Assemble cake: Spread 1/3 of the batter into the prepared cake pan. Sprinkle 1/3 of the filling over the batter and repeat 2 more times to finish the rest of the batter and filling.
- Bake: Place the cake pan in the oven and bake for about 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes then remove and continue cooling on a wire rack.
- Make glaze: Meanwhile, make the glaze by whisking all the ingredients together in a small bowl, adding more milk if needed. The glaze should be smooth and thin enough to drizzle.
- Drizzle with glaze, cut and serve: Drizzle the glaze over the cake, cut into slices and serve.

BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP CAKE
This tender cake is different from all the banana breads out there - possibly because Jim Lahey brings his celebrated skills as a bread baker to the recipe, which we adapted from "The Sullivan Street Bakery Cookbook." The spices, molasses and dark brown sugar combine for an intense, fragrant and almost caramel-like richness, while the mix of butter and olive oil make the crumb melt in the mouth. Be sure to use very ripe bananas for the best flavor; they should be spotted with brown and soft.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and fine sea salt.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter, oil, sugar, brown sugar, molasses, allspice, cinnamon, espresso and vanilla until just combined. The secret to this cake's texture is to stop mixing before the sugar is dissolved.
- Use a spatula to mix egg into butter mixture, then stir in flour mixture just to combine. Fold in bananas and chocolate chips. Scrape batter into prepared cake pan and bake until top is golden and sides begin to pull away from pan, about 25 minutes.
- Let cool for at least 20 minutes (or longer, until completely cooled), then run a thin spatula around the edges to separate from the pan. Invert onto a serving plate. Cake will keep for 1 day, covered.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your tea 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.
- Be sure to measure your flour correctly. Too much flour can result in a dry, dense cake.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, chewy cake.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can result in a dry, crumbly cake.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
