Banana Chip Cake with Whipped Mocha Frosting
(Calikittee, cooking Newsgroup)
3 large ripe bananas
1/2 cup plain yogurt
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups cake flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
--- FROSTING---
3 cups heavy cream
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
CAKE:
Preheat oven to 350^ F. Grease two 9" x 1 1/2" round cake pans. Line the
bottoms with parchment or wax paper. Grease again and flour. In a food
processor puree the bananas. Blend in the yogurt. Add the eggs and vanilla and
pulse a few seconds to combine. Set aside. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder,
baking soda, and salt in medium mixing bowl. In a large mixing bowl cream the
butter with an electric mixer until smooth and light. Add 1/2 the banana
mixture and all the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed two minutes until light
and fluffy. Add the rest of the wet mixture and beat on high speed for one
minute. Fold in grated chocolate. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared
pans, which should be half full. Bake for 30-32 minutes or just until a
toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a rack for 5 minutes.
Run a small, metal spatula around the sides, then unmold and peel off the paper
lining. Cool the cake to room temperature before assembling.
FROSTING:
Heat cream and chocolate in a heave saucepan over low heat, stirring
occasionally to melt and blend the chocolate. Remove from the heat, stir in the
powdered espresso, then pour into a clean dry container. Once the cream reaches
room temperature, cover directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from
forming. Chill in the freezer until very cold, about 1 hour, or refrigerate for
up to 3 days. Once the cake has cooled to room temperature, beat the ganache (do
not use a whisk beater) on medium-low speed to soft peaks. Increase to high
speed and continue beating until the frosting reaches a thick spreading
consistency. Spread the frosting immediately, while it is smooth. Frost as
desired for a festive look: spread 3/4 cup of frosting between the layers and
another 3/4 cup on top. Mask the sides with a very thin layer. With a pastry
bag fitted with a large open star tip pipe a continuous vertical pattern all
around the sides. Pipe stars around the top of the cake. Finished, the cake
keeps refrigerated up to 3 days. For best results slice the cake chilled, but
let sit 1/2 hour at room temperature before serving.
