Banana Bread Cake Truffles Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Cream the butter and sugar together in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Mash the bananas in a small bowl (you should have about 1 cup), then add to the mixing bowl and beat until just combined. Turn the mixer to low and slowly add the flour, milk, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and beat until just combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Let cool on a rack for 15 minutes, then invert the bread onto the rack to cool completely, about 1 hour. Slice the dark crispy edges off all 4 sides of the bread.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Crumble the bread into very small pieces in a large bowl. Add the frosting and mix with a spoon until the bread is a creamy consistency that can be rolled into a ball without crumbling. Roll the banana bread mixture into heaping teaspoon-sized balls with your hands (about 1/2 ounce each) and place them on the lined baking sheet. Chill the truffles in the refrigerator until cold, about 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Put the chocolate chips and oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted, about 2 minutes.
• Toss the truffles, one at a time, in the chocolate mixture until completely coated. Use a fork to remove the truffles from the bowl and return to the lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with the topping of your choice (if drizzling with caramel sauce or extra melted chocolate, let the truffles harden first). Repeat with the remaining truffles, reheating the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals if beginning to harden. Chill the truffles in the refrigerator until the chocolate is hardened, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the long sides so it will be easy to lift out the bread, and spray again.
• Add the butter to a medium nonstick pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns amber brown and smells nutty, about 3-4 minutes. Watch carefully so the butter does not burn. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool for 10-15 minutes.
• Add cooled brown butter and brown sugar to a large bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until evenly combined, about 1 minute. Add the egg and beat until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla and mix with a rubber spatula until well combined.
• In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
• Alternate adding the flour mixture and banana mixture to the butter mixture, starting and ending with flour and folding with a rubber spatula between each addition until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chunks.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth with an offset spatula, then sprinkle the turbinado sugar on top.
• Bake the banana bread until golden brown and a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 60-70 minutes. Set the loaf pan on a wire rack to cool for at least 1 hour, then lift out the banana bread and slice.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• Butter a 2lb loaf tin and line the base and sides with baking parchment.
• Cream 140g softened butter and 140g caster sugar until light and fluffy, then slowly add 2 beaten large eggs with a little of the 140g flour.
• Fold in the remaining flour, 1 tsp baking powder and 2 mashed bananas.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for about 50 mins, or until cooked through. Check the loaf at 5-min intervals by testing it with a skewer (it should be able to be inserted and removed cleanly), as the time may vary depending on the shape of your loaf tin.
• Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then remove to a wire rack.
• Mix 50g icing sugar with 2-3 tsp water to make a runny icing.
• Drizzle the icing across the top of the cake and decorate with a handful of banana chips.
