Instructions
To make the chocolate-nut layer:
- Combine the chocolate chips, pecans, sugar, and cinnamon.
- Set aside.
To make the cake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup Bundt pan or tube pan with a fixed bottom.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the bananas and sour cream, and mix until combined.
- Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Sprinkle about a third of the chocolate-nut mixture on the bottom of prepared pan. Drop half of the cake batter by spoonfuls into the pan. Sprinkle with half of the remaining chocolate-nut mixture. Top with the remaining cake batter. Sprinkle with the remaining chocolate-nut mixture.
- Bake 45 to 50 minutes, or until a pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Then, invert the cake onto a wire rack, and invert again onto a cake plate for serving.
