    • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
    • 23 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch bundt pan or tube pan.
  • Make the Cake Batter:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
    • In a large bowl, beat the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
    • Stir in the mashed bananas and sour cream until combined.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
    • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Bake the Cake:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread it evenly.
    • Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Prepare the Chocolate Ganache Glaze:
    • Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
    • Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
  • Prepare the Peanut Butter Glaze:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and pourable. Adjust the consistency with more milk if needed.
  • Assemble the Cake:
    • Once the cake is fully cooled, pour the chocolate ganache glaze evenly over the top.
    • Drizzle the peanut butter glaze over the chocolate ganache in a zigzag pattern for a beautiful finish.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
    • Slice and serve this luscious cake as a dessert or indulgent snack!
