Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously spray 12 cup bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; set aside.
Step 3
Place butter in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. After a couple of minutes the butter will begin to crackle and foam—make sure you whisk consistently during this process! Another minute or two, and you will notice the butter turning a slight brown (caramel) color on the bottom of the saucepan; continue to whisk and remove from heat as soon as the butter begins to give off a nutty aroma. Immediately transfer the butter to a bowl to prevent it from burning. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add brown butter, bananas, honey, vanilla, eggs, milk and yogurt to a blender. Blend on high for 1 minute or until well combined, smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
Step 6
Divide batter evenly into bundt pan and bake for 45-60 minutes or until a knife inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
Step 7
Transfer to wire rack for 10-15 minutes, then invert cake onto rack and allow to cool completely. Cake is best the next day. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and store at room temperature. Banana cake/bread is always best the next day.
Step 8
Once ready to eat make the dark chocolate glaze, if desired. Place a small saucepan over low heat; add the dark chocolate and almond milk. Stir frequently until all of the chocolate is melted. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the cake. Cake serves 16.
