RECIPE: THE BANANA / CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE

RECIPE: THE BANANA / CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE


I could not wait to test my cake bundt ... I find these retro cakes so elegant, I love! I would be well dressed with a little bun and a floral dress, or better, cherries to enjoy it! This first test was not necessarily the most conclusive, in terms of visual at least ^^! I suspected that in view of the grooves of the mold, I should wait until the cake is cold to unmold, but pressed by the weather, I rushed things and damaged the cake;)! It does not matter, I loved the mellow mix / melted chocolate icing. A treat for the taste buds! I validate this version banana / chocolate for my next parties / snacks with friends (provided I take it earlier to concoct), but I would like to test soon a version all choco!

Ingredients:

For the cake:

  • 3 eggs at room temperature
  • 3 large bananas (crushed)
  • 200g of flour
  • 50g of almond powder
  • 60g of Maïzena
  • 150g of soft butter
  • 150g of sugar
  • 10g of yeast
  • 100 g of chocolate chips (I personally crushed a dark chocolate bar)
  • For icing: 35g of butter, 80g of chocolate (milk for me)


The cake bundt recipe



  1. Preheat the oven to 165 ° C. In a bowl, beat the soft butter and sugar until light and airy.
  2. Add the eggs, mix. Then add the flour, almond powder, cornflour and yeast to the mixture.
  3. Then crush the bananas, and mix them with the preparation.
  4. Add the chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the dough into your mold and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour until the tip of your knife comes out dry.
  6. Take out of the oven and let cool.
  7. (If you unmold the cake too early it may break or crack, knowingly ^^!)
  8. Once cold, unmould the cake on your presentation dish.


The frosting


Melt the butter with the chocolate, let cool slightly and then coat your cake.

  • In addition, this food is rich in calcium (159 mg of calcium in every 100 g portion), iron, zinc, and other minerals and vitamins
  • Its isoflavone content, along with its calcium and protein intake, makes tofu an ideal food for balancing estrogen levels . This is why this food is particularly recommended for women in the menopausal phase
  • This food is also high in fiber and low in calories

Nevertheless, despite all its beneficial effects, it is essential to take into account that soy and all soy products contain large amounts of oxalate . People with kidney problems, such as kidney stones, should avoid consuming tofu.
