Banana cupcakes with chocolate sour cream ganache
Cupcakes and muffins
This is a cupcake that I make from time to time to put in my daughter's lunchboxes. The banana cake on its own is very good, moist and fruity. But add the dark chocolate and it becomes a real treat. Bananas and dark chocolate kind of cry out for each other - the sometimes overwhelming sweetness of the fruit needs the tempering effect of dark chocolate. Don't let the word ganache scare you - it's just a fancy French way of saying unbelievably easy and delicious frosting. The cake is adapted from Rose Levy Beranbaum's The Cake Bible. I like to make the frosting in the microwave because it's my favorite method of melting chocolate.
