Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 360 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 165 g unsalted butter, room temp
  • 200 g granulated sugar
  • 100 g brown sugar
  • 315 g mashed roasted banana, about 3 medium bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 215 g yogurt, room temp
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or paste

For the Chocolate Glaze:

  • 160 g chocolate
  • 160 g heavy cream, +20g to account for evaporation

Instructions

For the Roasted Bananas:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  • Place the bananas on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, turning them over half way through for even browning. 
  • Remove from the oven once evenly dark. Allow to cool before peeling and mashing. 

For the Cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 
  • Melt one tablespoon of butter in a small bowl, then use a pastry brush to spread the butter all over the bundt pan. Add a tablespoon of flour to the pan and shake it to evenly coat the inside. 
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside. 
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars on medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes until light and pale in color. 
  • Add the mashed banana and mix until fully combined. 
  • Add the eggs, beating between with each addition, then scrape the bowl down with a rubber spatula. 
  • In a large measuring cup, mix the yogurt and vanilla together. 
  • Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the yogurt to the batter until everything is mixed in. 
  • Scrape the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
  • Transfer the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth out the top with the rubber spatula. 
  • Bake the cake for about 42 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. 
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then use a knife to loosen it from the sides and immediately turn out onto a cooling rack. 

For the Chocolate Glaze:

  • Measure out the chocolate in a medium bowl.
  • In a small saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a simmer. Be sure to heat more heavy cream (about 20g extra), since some will evaporate. 
  • Pour the warm heavy cream over the chocolate and allow to sit for a minute or two.
  • Gently stir the chocolate and heavy cream together with a spoon or rubber spatula until fully combined.
  • Pour over the cooled bundt cake. 

Notes

  • If you are the type of person to have over-ripe bananas laying around, you can absolutely use them in this recipe. Just no need to roast them!
  • If you're in a pinch, I believe you can use half and half for the glaze, though I have not tried this before. 
  • P.S. If you love these speckled ceramic plates, you can find them here! They are made by Mora Ceramics, one of my absolute favorite ceramic companies! These are the Rimmed and Speckled Salad Plates, which are 7.8″.
