Kitchen Equipment to Make Peanut Butter Banana Bundt Cake

• Large bowl, medium bowl.
• Measuring cups and measuring spoons.
• Rubber spatula.

Recipe Variations, Tips and Substitutions

• Flour – If you don’t have self-rising flour on hand you can adapt using all purpose flour. When doing so, add 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda nand 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sift these dry ingredients together then proceed with the recipe as written.
• Chocolate Chips – You can use classic semi sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips. Use the same amount for this recipe.
• Peanut Butter – You could experiement with this cake using alternate nut butters like almond butter.
• Creamy Peanut Butter – You could use chunky peanut butter but creamy will give you the best texture.
• Butter – You can use salted butter or unsalted butter. 
• Pan Options – This batter for this bundt cake can be divided and baked in 2 standard size 8-inch loaf pans. The cake batter will bake more quickly in a loaf pan, so check the center with a toothpick around 45 minutes, then add to the baking time from that point.
•  Chocolate Glaze – I serve this cake without a glaze, but if you’d like to gild the lily, a drizzle of melted chocolate would do nicely. Melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips with 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream and drizzle on top.
• Peanut Butter Glaze – You could also melt 1/2 cup peanut butter chips with 2-3 tablespoons of heavy cream and drizzle that on top.
