Yay! :) I've had banana reduction cake on the brain ever since you posted this, and it's been torture waiting for my greenish bananas to get ripe enough to try. Finally they were ready yesterday! I used the original recipe from CB, except I used turbinado sugar, and reduced 4 bananas. Super Yum!

I like the subtle banana undertone and found the cake moist, chocolatey and delicious. I forgot all about the Sour Cream Banana Cake from TCB (I made it a while back), but you're right, it's similar minus the choc paste!Hanaâhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660317268731033542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17784051.post-88540694544685001292010-07-19T14:35:05.846-07:002010-07-19T14:35:05.846-07:00Jenn, thanks!

We had so many clear sunny days this winter it made photographing easy.<br /><br /><b>Vicki,</b> thanks--I almost think it is more fun to shake up a jar of cocoa power and boiling water than to whisk it.

Muy bien, David Bailey!<br />I think the cake sounds very good and it looks good. But I don't think I would like those hard crunchy chips.<br />I think a chocolate curl top might be more to my liking. I must make this as I am always looking for uses for over ripe bananas.

I just made Cook's Illustrated newest recipe for banana bread, which involved microwaving the bananas, draining the juices and then reducing those to 1/4 cup. The most intensely flavored banana bread I've ever had. I'm wondering how that would taste if I added an extra couple bananas and used that Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668811767374466650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17784051.post-66435803397852647242010-07-19T09:25:44.638-07:002010-07-19T09:25:44.638-07:00Wonderful pictures!

I was going to do it this way but wasn't sure how it would look with the chips being in different size. Yours look fabulous!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717898669803221775noreply@blogger.com
