CHUNKY MONKEY CUPCAKES
Banana, walnut, and chocolate are always an amazing combination of ingredients, no matter what the delivery system, but it really doesn't get any better than in this ganache-frosted cupcake. A close second would be a chocolate-dipped frozen banana, rolled in walnuts, which is also a great treat, although much more awkward to eat in public. Feel free to omit the frosting and just enjoy these as muffins.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
- Mash bananas with milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Mix butter and sugar together with a spatula until creamy. Whisk in eggs, 1 at a time, then whisk in the banana mixture. Add walnuts, chocolate, and the flour mixture. Mix batter with a spatula until no dry spots remain.
- Fill muffin cups to the top with batter, then distribute excess batter as needed. Tap pan against the counter to expel any air bubbles.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tops are lightly browned, about 25 minutes. Let cupcakes cool to room temperature, at least 20 minutes.
- Pour hot cream over chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for a few minutes, then whisk, increasing speed gradually, until color is uniform. Spread ganache over the cooled cupcakes and garnish with banana chips. Refrigerate to firm up the frosting, if desired.

MONKEY TAIL BANANA CAKE
Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 3 (9-inch) round cake pans with cooking spray. In large bowl, cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs, mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla until smooth.
- In a separate bowl sift together the flour, baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the sifted ingredients to the batter.
- Stir in nuts, if using, and chocolate chips. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 to 15 minutes and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting: Prepare the frosting by whipping the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla together until creamy. Increase the mixing speed, then slowly pour in the heavy cream and beat until smooth and thick and the frosting is the consistency of whipped cream. Store in the refrigerator until you are ready to use.
- To assemble the cake, place 1 cake layer on a cake plate. Spread with 1/2 the container of chocolate-hazelnut spread and top with a thin layer of whipped cream cheese frosting, about 1/2 cup. Repeat with the second layer, using the remaining 1/2 of the chocolate-hazelnut spread and 1/2 cup whipped frosting.
- Top with the final cake layer and frost or decorate with the remaining whipped frosting. Garnish, as desired.
