This time around I was happy to have more mouths to feed a whole cake to. Our little family can eat a whole cake (unfortunately), but it is so much more enjoyable (and better on the hips) with more people to share it with.
First off...I love bundt cakes. They are so incredibly easy. You don't have to layer or spend a long time frosting. All you do is pop it out of the pan and it looks pretty. You can drizzle a little icing on top, but it looks fancy either way. The sour cream of course added a little extra moisture. The only changes I made was adding chocolate chips and a chocolate drizzle atop. I was deciding between chocolate ganache or the buttery chocolate frosting from a Texas sheet cake recipe. I went with the Texas sheet cake frosting. It was rich and delicious, but not quite as dark chocolatey as the ganache.
I served it up to a house full of people and it was enjoyed by all. I do believe the chocolate chips were a necesity in order to cut the strong banana flavor, but I think chocolate is better in anything.

Happy Baking

I'm glad you gave this the thumbs up. I think I might just have some bananas waiting to be made into a bundt cake! Love the addition of chocolate chips too. A little chocolate always makes everything better. Right?
Your piggie plate is adorable. Choclate icing sounds like a great addition!
yum, I will have to try this with chocolate in it. looks great
Love the chocolate April!!! We made this one too and thought it was sooo moist and delicious. I used the lemon drizzle, but would definitely prefer your chocolate version!! I guess I'll just have to try again.
Your banana bundt cake looks delicious! I like your thinking about chocolate - I'm definitely going to try this again with chocolate chips! =)
