Banana Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake

Banana Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake For when you need to spice up your life

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 can just imagine a slice of this heaven while still warm with a scoop of Breyers ice cream on top. Oh I’ve gotta go to the gym for just thinking that. 🙂 Looks yummy. Thanks for sharing at #BloggingGrandmothersLinkParty.

    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. 🙂

    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.
