Ingredients

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter half of 1 stick, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
  • ¼ cup Sour Cream or Greek yogurt I use 0% fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract or to taste
  • 6 medium/large very ripe bananas mashed (2 1/2 cups mashed bananas; if your bananas are huge you may only need 4 or 5; if they’re small, you may need more)
  • one 3.4-ounce box vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • confectioners' sugar or vanilla/cream cheese frosting optional for serving if desired

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 12-cup Bundt pan very well with floured cooking spray, or grease and flour the pan; set aside.
  2. To a large microwave-safe bowl, add the butter, and heat on high power to melt, about 1 minute. Allow the butter to cool momentarily so you don’t scramble the eggs.
  3. Add the eggs, sugars, sour cream or Greek yogurt, vanilla, and whisk or beat with a handheld electric mixer to combine.
  4. Add the bananas and stir or beat to incorporate.
  5. Add the pudding mix (just add it dry like a dry ingredient; don’t actually make pudding), flour, baking soda, salt, and fold in with spatula or stir gently with a spoon; don’t overmix.
  6. Add the chocolate chips and stir to combine.
  7. Turn batter out into prepared Bundt pan (and possibly about 3/4 cup batter into a 5x3-inch loaf pan depending on exact size of Bundt pan; do not fill Bundt pan more than 2/3 to 3/4 full) and bake for about 50 to 55 minutes (and bake mini loaf pan for about 35 to 39 minutes in my oven), or until the top is domed, golden, and the center is set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. In the final 10 to 15 minutes of cooking, or at any point if your cake is getting a bit dark before the center is setting, tent with foil.
  8. Allow cake to cool in pan for about 15 minutes before turning out on a wire rack or cake stand to cool completely before slicing and serving.
  9. Optionally add confectioners' sugar or frosting, if desired.

Notes

  • Storage: Cake will keep airtight at room temp for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
