Instructions
Roasted Bananas
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the bananas on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, turning them over half way through for even browning.
- Step 3
Remove from the oven once evenly dark. Allow to cool before peeling and mashing.
Cake
- Step 4
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Step 5
Melt one tablespoon of butter in a small bowl, then use a pastry brush to spread the butter all over the bundt pan. Add a tablespoon of flour to the pan and shake it to evenly coat the inside.
- Step 6
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- Step 7
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars on medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes until light and pale in color.
- Step 8
Add the mashed banana and mix until fully combined.
- Step 9
Add the eggs, beating between with each addition, then scrape the bowl down with a rubber spatula.
- Step 10
In a large measuring cup, mix the yogurt and vanilla together.
- Step 11
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the yogurt to the batter until everything is mixed in.
- Step 12
Scrape the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
- Step 13
Transfer the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth out the top with the rubber spatula.
- Step 14
Bake the cake for about 42 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
- Step 15
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then use a knife to loosen it from the sides and immediately turn out onto a cooling rack.
Chocolate Glaze
- Step 16
Measure out the chocolate in a medium bowl.
- Step 17
In a small saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a simmer. Be sure to heat more heavy cream (about 20g extra), since some will evaporate.
- Step 18
Pour the warm heavy cream over the chocolate and allow to sit for a minute or two.
- Step 19
Gently stir the chocolate and heavy cream together with a spoon or rubber spatula until fully combined.
- Step 20
Pour over the cooled bundt cake.
