Servings

Ingredients

2 cups mashed very ripe bananas approximately 6 bananas
4 large eggs
2/3 cup canola oil plus additional for greasing the pan
2 cups all-purpose flour plus additional for flouring the pan
2 cups granulated sugar
1 3.5 oz package vanilla instant pudding mix
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 3.5 oz dark chocolate bar, chopped into chunks

Equipment

Instructions

Prepare the oven and pan

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Thoroughly grease a bundt pan with canola oil and dust lightly with flour, ensuring all crevices are coated to prevent sticking.

Combine wet ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, eggs, and canola oil until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.

Mix dry ingredients

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, vanilla pudding mix, baking soda, and kosher salt. Stir to blend evenly.

Combine wet and dry mixtures

Gradually add the dry mixture to the banana mixture. Stir gently until fully incorporated, being careful not to overmix.

Add mix-ins

Fold in the shredded coconut and chopped dark chocolate until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Transfer to pan and bake

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the surface if necessary. Bake for 60 to 80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (melted chocolate may appear on the toothpick—this is normal).

Cool and release

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes. Gently run a butter knife around the edges and center of the bundt to loosen, then invert onto a serving plate. Allow to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend that includes xanthan gum for structure. Additionally, ensure that the vanilla pudding mix is labeled gluten-free, as some brands may contain wheat derivatives. All other ingredients, including the shredded coconut and chocolate, should be verified as gluten-free before use.
