Ingredients

For Cake Batter

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • teaspoon baking soda
  • teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup walnuts chopped
  • 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 4 bananas ripened
  • cups sour cream
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sugar

For Filling

For Glaze

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

  1. The applesauce could be replaced with vegetable oil, butter, or even coconut oil, if preferred.
