    Rec.and Rev.:Marbled Banana Bundt Cake

    Posted by Red_Savage1

    Excellent cake.I cut down the sugar by 1/4 cup. I used 1 cup in the white dough and mixed 1/4 cup into the cocoa dough. It was still sweet enough,since my bananas were very ripe. Good banana taste and great Marble Cake taste. Thanks for posting.The recipe is a keeper.

    Marbled Banana Bundt Cake 

    The cake itself has a beautiful texture. It is much lighter than your average banana bread, but is still very moist, thanks to both the banana and sour cream in the cake. Although it can easily be served after a meal for dessert, it goes wonderfully with a mug of coffee or hot chocolate in the morning. The swirl has a strong chocolate flavor that works well with the banana, but it can easily be omitted if you prefer to have just a plain banana cake. One other variation would be to stir about 1/2 of chocolate chips into the batter before baking it for even more chocolate.


    Marbled Banana Bundt Cake
    1/2 cup butter, room temperature
    1 1/2 cups sugar
    3 large eggs
    1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    3 ripe, medium bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
    2 cups all purpose flour
    1 tsp baking powder
    1 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp salt
    1 cup sour cream (low fat is fine)
    1/4 cup cocoa powder, sifted

    Preheat oven to 350F and lightly grease a 12-cup bundt pan (12-inch diameter).
    In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light. Beat in the eggs one by one, waiting until each has been incorporated to add the next. Beat in vanilla extract and mashed bananas.
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add half of the flour mixture to the butter mix and stir to combine. Add in the sour cream, followed by the remaining flour mixture.
    Remove 1 1/2 cups of batter into a small bowl and stir in cocoa powder.
    Pour 2/3 of the plain batter into the prepared bundt pan, top with cocoa batter and spoon the rest of the plain batter on top. Run a knife through the batter gently to swirl.
    Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the top springs back when lightly pressed.
    Turn cake out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
    Serve plain, or dusted with powdered sugar.
    Serves 12-16.

    Thank you for the review Saurgurke and the recipe RedSavage!   I have 2 or 3 bundt pans that don't get enough use, I'll have to change that    :)
