Instruction

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line pans with cupcake liners.
  • 2. In a small bowl, sift cake mix and flour together.
  • 3. In another small bowl, finely mash bananas with baking soda and lemon juice.
  • 4. In a large bowl, gently whisk eggs, oil, buttermilk, sour cream and vanilla extract.
  • 5. Add mashed bananas to the wet ingredients and stir. Add cake mix/flour and stir again.
  • 6. Fill liners 3/4 full and bake for 15-18 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean.
  • 7. Frosting: Beat butter and cream cheese for 3 minutes. Add vanilla extract and slowly add powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency. Add milk to thin out frosting if needed.
  • 8. Ganache: Place chocolate chips in a heat proof bowl. Heat heavy cream on the stove top until bubbles form (not quite a boil). Pour over chocolate chips and whisk until smooth. Add honey and stir again. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  • 9. Pipe buttercream onto cooled cupcakes and top with chocolate ganache and banana slices.
