Description

This juicy Bundt cake with banana and chocolate is a real eye-catcher on any coffee table! I especially like to bake it when I have to use up ripe bananas.

About this recipe

This Bundt cake with banana and chocolate is a recipe that has been in my family for several years. It arose from the desire not to have to throw away overripe bananas and at the same time bake a delicious cake that also tastes good to children. The combination of banana and chocolate is a classic that always works. The bananas are of course the star of this cake. They provide an incredible juiciness and sweetness, which is enhanced by the brown rum. The rum gives the whole thing a slightly caramel note, which is not too intrusive. The walnuts bring a nice crunch to the dough and perfectly complement the aroma of the bananas. The cocoa provides a chocolatey depth, which is intensified by the bittersweet grated chocolate. I use the spelt flour because it gives the cake a slightly nutty note and makes it a little healthier than wheat flour. When preparing it in the Thermomix®, it is important to puree the bananas really well so that there are no pieces left in the dough. Whisking the egg whites with the butterfly whisk works best when the bowl is grease-free. Be careful to carefully fold in the egg whites so that the dough remains nice and airy. If you don't like walnuts, you can also replace them with hazelnuts or almonds. For a vegan version, you can replace the eggs with applesauce or flaxseed meal and use plant-based milk instead of cream. The Bundt cake tastes best when it has cooled down a little. You can dust it with icing sugar or cover it with a chocolate glaze. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream goes perfectly with it. The banana slices are not only for decoration, but also complement the cake very well in terms of taste. The cake stays fresh for several days in a cake dome or an airtight container. You can also prepare it well and freeze it. Simply let it thaw before serving and decorate as desired.
