How to Make Chunky Monkey Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Peel and mash 2 ripe bananas in a medium bowl.
- Add 1 box (15.25 oz) of your favorite chocolate cake mix, 1/2 cup water, 3 large eggs, and 1/3 cup vegetable oil to the mashed bananas.
- Beat on low speed with an electric mixer until just combined, about 1 minute.
- Increase speed to high and beat for 3 minutes, until the batter is smooth.
- Chop 1 ripe banana into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Gently fold in the chopped banana, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, and 1 cup chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes.
- Remove cakes from pans and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once completely cool, frost the cake with your favorite chocolate frosting, adding a layer of frosting between the two cake layers.
