Ingredients
For Cake Batter
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup walnuts chopped
- 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
- 4 bananas ripened
- 1½ cups sour cream
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sugar
For Filling
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon ground
- ½ cup walnuts chopped
For Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare cake pan: Preheat your oven to 350℉. Spray a 10 inch angel food cake pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, walnuts and chocolate chips.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another medium bowl mash the bananas using a fork or a potato masher. Add the sour cream, eggs, applesauce, vanilla extract and granulated sugar and whisk everything together.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the flour and using a spatula mix everything together.
- Prepare filling: In another small bowl combine all the filling ingredients together.
- Assemble cake: Spread ⅓ of the batter into the prepared cake pan. Sprinkle ⅓ of the filling over the batter and repeat 2 more times to finish the rest of the batter and filling.
- Bake: Place the cake pan in the oven and bake for about 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes then remove and continue cooling on a wire rack.
- Make glaze: Meanwhile, make the glaze by whisking all the ingredients together in a small bowl, adding more milk if needed. The glaze should be smooth and thin enough to drizzle.
- Drizzle with glaze, cut and serve: Drizzle the glaze over the cake, cut into slices and serve.
Notes
- The applesauce could be replaced with vegetable oil, butter, or even coconut oil, if preferred.
