Introducing…. My new KitchenAid mixer! Isn’t she beautiful?! The color is Majestic Yellow. I’m trying to think of a name for her, like Majesty, Mrs. Butter, or Queen… Thoughts? I will let you know once I decide 🙂

On to the recipe. I know this cake isn’t much, and I actually was not going to post it, but it’s the first thing I baked/made using the new mixer so I felt it was a must. Let’s get on with it… pull out those mixers (if you have one) and start baking!

What you will need:

10 cup bundt pan, greased

3 large bananas
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 cups brown sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
3/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Powdered sugar for dusting

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, mash the bananas with the lemon juice. Set aside. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of your mixer, beat oil and sugar until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add in vanilla.

Slowly beat in flour mixture, alternating with the buttermilk until just combined. Fold in bananas and chocolate chips.

Pour into prepared pan and bake for 45-55 minutes. Allow to cool in pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes before inverting to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Slice and enjoy!

So gorgeous, right?! I had a piece for breakfast yesterday. Yum yum.
