This Banana Chocolate-Chip Bundt Cake is insanely good and so easy to make! It’s a super-moist snacking cake that’s really rich and chocolatey, and you only need one bowl to make it!

Friends, I have another banana cake that might just change your life. Now, I know y’all love my crazy banana cake, and for a good reason; it’s seriously the best banana cake in the world. But this banana bundt cake is amazing too, even though it’s completely different.

How is it different?

Well, for starters, it’s a banana snacking cake made in a bundt pan, so there’s no frosting to bother with. Trust me, it’s so good you won’t miss the frosting.

Secondly, this cake has chocolate-chips in it. And I know how much you love banana chocolate chip bread because my banana chocolate chip bread machine recipe gets a ton of traffic.

Just one bowl

And thirdly (you’re gonna love this), you make this banana cake in one bowl. You just dump all of your ingredients into the bowl, mix it, and pour it into the pan.

Baking from scratch couldn’t get any easier.

OK, let’s make this cake because my mouth is watering, and I need to get some in my belly ASAP.

Banana Chocolate-Chip Bundt Cake Ingredients:

2 & 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 & 1/4 cups sugar
4 mashed bananas
1/2 cup Crisco OR softened butter (I’ll tell you what I prefer in a sec.)
2 eggs
2 & 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups milk-chocolate chips (or less if you actually think less chocolate is a good thing. Is that even possible?)

Butter or Crisco?

Ok, like I said, you can use Crisco or butter for this banana cake. For years I used Crisco, and the cake was fabulous, but in recent years, I’ve switched to butter, and my family thinks the cake is even better. Butter gives the cake a richer flavour, a nicer texture, and the outer crust takes on a crispy quality which it doesn’t when I use Crisco.

Having said that, the choice is up to you. Just know that whatever you choose, your cake will be fantastic.

Making your cake:

I love baking, but hate the clean-up, so I love that you only need one bowl for this cake.

Start by mashing your bananas in a large bowl. If you’re using frozen bananas (I do because I always have a ton of them in my freezer), just snip the end off your thawed bananas, and they’ll slide right out of their skin.

Add everything else to the bowl EXCEPT the chocolate chips. I always sift my dry ingredients to fluff them up. It makes for a higher-rising cake.

With your electric beaters, beat everything together on low speed until blended, and then on high for 5 minutes.

Now, add in that glorious 2 cups of chocolate-chips.

Grease and flour your bundt pan, or give it a shot of non-stick spray. I go with the spray. The easier, the better, right?

Now pour your batter into the pan, and swirl a knife through it a couple of times, to eliminate air pockets and level it out.

Pop it in the oven at 375, and bake for 40-50 minutes. My cake is usually done at the 50 minute mark, but every oven is different, so check it at the 40 minute mark. As long as your knife comes out clean (well, there will be melted chocolate on it, but make sure there’s no wet batter on it), your cake is done.

Let the cake sit for a few minutes before removing it from the pan.

To remove the cake from the bundt pan, run a knife around the edges to loosen it up, and set a cooling rack on the surface of the cake. Flip it over, give the pan a little jiggle, and your cake should slide right out.
