GERMAN CHOCOLATE BANANA CAKE

I have no clue where I got this recipe, but nobody in my family or church can get enough. The first time I made it, it was for my birthday dinner. I invited Mom, Pop, and Chris over and they loved it. My pop isn't crazy about cakes like this, but he ate two pieces. I took it to an eatin' meetin' and didn't get to bring home a crumb. You have to keep it in the refrigerator, so make room for it. It's also a very pretty cake.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 box (18 ounces) german chocolate cake mix
1 c ripe bananas, sliced
1 c water
1/3 c oil
3 eggs
FROSTING
1 can(s) coconut pecan frosting
1/4 c bananas, mashed
GLAZE
1 oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
1/2 c powdered sugar
1-1/2 tsp water

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, bananas, water, oil and eggs. Beat at low speed until moistened; beat 2 minutes at highest speed.
  • 2. Pour batter into a greased and floured 13 X 9 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Cool completely.
  • 3. In a small bowl, combine frosting and mashed bananas. Spread over cooled cake.
  • 4. In another small bowl, combine melted chocolate and powdered sugar. Add water until desired consistency, blending until smooth. Drizzle over frosting. Store in refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • For a richer flavor, you can use dark chocolate in place of semisweet or bittersweet chocolate.
  • You can also add chopped nuts or dried fruit to the batter for a different flavor variation.
