This Banana Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake was a hit with my family. A tasty banana and chocolate cake you can hold in your hand. I witnessed them pass through the kitcehn in one swift move as they grabbed a slice and went on their way. I always found a bundt cake to be the perfect choice to keep the leftovers fresh and moist. But I must confess in my family the leftovers never last past dinner. The original recipe is loaded with butter and sugar. To maintain the great taste I kept the original portion of butter but the sugar was greatly reduced. Also some of the all-purpose flour was replaced with whole wheat. Adapted from Best Yummy. The chocolate chips were a tiny bit sweet (did I really say that?) so you may want to cut down the portion a bit.

I do need to make a bundt cake… I have never done that, which is shocking w/ all of the baking I have done and still do. I even have a bundt pan… I just need to use it! This recipe looks good. 🙂
Great idea! I love the image of family walking through with chunks in hand!
Thanks. My family have absolutely no class! But I require the use of a napkin, at least. LOL Enjoy your week.
Banana and chocolate–what could be better? I love that you have taken such a rich dessert and made it less fattening. Can’t wait to give it a try.
Thanks Lisa. I am trying to rework all my recipes to be healthier. It seems it takes forever as you can only cook so many things a day! Have a wonderful week!
Sounds delicious and a great way to us ripe bananas. I actually prefer to switch out some of the butter with applesauce now. I think it makes for a moister cake. Good tip.
Thanks Melissa. I still have a sweet tooth but trying hard to lesser the effects. have a lovely week!
We like banana and chocolate chips and this sounds delicious!
This one is so delicious. Perfect when the cookies aren’t enough! Have a lovely week.
