    2 votes

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup heavy cream (I have used evaporated milk or sour cream too)
    • 8 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder like Hershey's
    • 1/2 cup chocolate chunk style chips
    • 1/3 cup canola oil
    • 3 very ripe bananas

    Directions

    My sisterinlaw Theresa Colenzo, gave me this fabulous pedestal cake plate that was her parents (RIP) I am so honored to be able to have this memento from them, as I will cherish it. While visiting recently in my home town, Utica N.Y., she gave me this to take home. So I decided to make a cake and feature it on this gorgeous vintage cake plate.

    Amazing light in texture banana cake made with a cake mix and chocolate!A delicious moist cake no one can tell it's made with a cake mix!Mini bundt pans

    Dress this cake up to make it for special occasions.....

    Plain cake with a dusting of powdered sugar, it's still fabulous!

    4 eggs

    1 box of yellow or white cake mix

    Heat oven to 350 degrees and in the meantime prepare the pans you will use. I used two mini bundt pans and a large bundt pan. You can also use a 13x9 sheet cake. The cake will rise nicely and be full. Generously grease your pan and set aside.

    In a large bowl with either a hand mixer or a Kitchen aid, beat all ingredients above for at least two minutes.

    Using a spatula, carefully empty into your prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees. Baking time varies. If using the small bundts this takes around 25 minutes testing with a toothpick in the center. The larger cakes take around 45 to 50 minutes.

    Garnishing these cakes are so much fun and versatile. Some suggestions: decorate with fresh fruits and whipped cream like a banana split. Try some whipped cream, ice cream of choice and hot fudge sauce. Or keep it simple as it is super moist cake with just some powdered sugar. A light glaze will be delicious too. Have fun and enjoy!

      As always, great recipe, Claudia. Mixes are my secet weapon - my late aunt taught me so many tricks to use with mixes (my favorite - adding a coupleof drops of rose water to her boiled icing) - This is much simpler and richer than my banana chocolate cake. Will definitely try. Oh, is the heavy cream a better alternative to buttermilk (which I've been using with some sour cream)? Sounds wonderful!

        Buttermilk is a great alternative as well, have tried them all whatever's in the house but the heavy cream makes it buttery tasting too, better than the sour cream versions. You Aunt was a smart lady!
