From Cake Mix Magic. Uses a devil's food cake mix (a nice change from the yellow cake mix seen in other recipes for similar cakes). Basically, a chocolate banana cake with chocolate peanut butter glaze. Yum. The author notes that chunky peanut butter can be used for the glaze if desired but will not produce a smooth satiny glaze. Prep time is an estimate. Ingredients:
1 (18 1/4 ounce) package devil's food cake mix |
3 eggs |
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 or 4 large bananas) |
1/2 cup vegetable oil |
4 (1 ounce) semi-sweet chocolate baking squares |
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter |
1/3 cup chopped peanuts (optional) |
Directions:
1. Cake: Preheat oven to 350*F. In a large mixer bowl, combine all cake ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, or until smooth. Spread batter evenly in a greased and floured 13-by 9-inch cake pan. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
2. Glaze: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate and peanut butter, stirring constantly until smooth. Spread evenly over cooled cake. Sprinkle nuts on top, if desired.
