In the midst of my work's busy season, I realize that baking provides a channel for me to relax and be at peace with myself. Late at night, at about 12:30AM, I made this chocolate banana bundt cake - and I enjoyed every moment of it.
I've promised my coworkers that I would bake this chocolate banana bundt cake and bring it to work. They liked my banana bread and thought that this choco-nana bundt cake would be good as well. I've been preparing to make this cake for a while now. I bought the sour cream on Monday or Tuesday night and I bought the bananas on Wednesday. Finally, on Thursday I made the cake. :)
I have never made bundt cake before and I've been hesitating to make one because bundt cake pans tend to be more expensive than other cake pans. After a long internal debate, I came across this bundt cake pan and it wasn't as expensive as I thought it would be. I bought it right away! Since then, I've been researching on bundt cake recipes - looking for one that would be good for a first time bundt-cake-baker. This recipe from Baking Bites turns out to be pretty awesome! :) It's definitely worth a try!
The bundt cake looked glossy on the outside. I'm not quite sure as to why this is the case, but it got me worried for a bit this morning. But when I cut a slice of the cake, the inside looked very lovely (in my opinion, at least). I am truly content with this cake. I also think that my coworkers were pleased with this.
I only have a quarter of it left by the time I brought it home from work. And now, I think there's only 2 slices left in the box. I'm saving it for breakfast tomorrow. :)
