Craving a Moist Chocolate Chip Banana Cake? Try This Israeli Twist!
Joshua managed a lush banana grove near Kibbutz Degania Aleph in Israel. He gifted us a massive bunch of ripe bananas one sunny day. I froze the overripe ones instantly. Joshua stared in shock. “You freeze bananas?” he asked. He had never tasted chocolate chip banana cake either!
This banana chocolate chip bundt cake shines in a bundt pan for elegant presentation. It serves as the perfect non-dairy dessert for Shabbat. Guests rave about the rich banana flavor paired with melted chocolate. Freeze extra bananas ahead. They mash perfectly for baking. No waste, just pure deliciousness.

Hi, I don’t even know if you’re going to read my comment anytime soon….Pesach is coming and I would like to make this. Have you ever made it for Pesach, and if so, what did you use for the flour? If not, what do you suggest I use? Thanks
