Instructions
Step 1
Beat the *eggs* with *sugar* using a whisk until well combined.
Add the *vegetable oil* and continue to mix until well incorporated.
Step 2
Mash the *bananas* thoroughly and add them to the egg mixture. Mix well until the bananas are evenly distributed.
Step 3
Sift the *flour*, *cocoa powder*, and *baking soda* together into the banana mixture. Stir until everything is combined.
Step 4
Fold in the *chopped chocolate*. Ensure it is evenly mixed throughout the batter.
*If using a chocolate bar, chop it into small pieces beforehand.*
Step 5
Pour the batter into cupcake molds or a single cake mold.
Preheat your oven to *150ºC (300ºF)*. Bake for *20-35 minutes*, depending on your oven and the size of the molds.
Test for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out *clean* or with a few *moist crumbs*.
Servings
- Warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream: The contrast between the warm cake and cold ice cream is simply heavenly. 🍨
- Drizzle with chocolate sauce: Enhance the chocolatey flavor by drizzling some melted chocolate or chocolate syrup over the top. 🍫
- Pair with fresh fruits: Add a refreshing touch by serving slices of the cake with fresh strawberries, raspberries, or bananas. 🍓🍌
- Enjoy with coffee: This cake pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee for the perfect breakfast or afternoon snack! ☕️
Equipment
Ensure you have at least two large mixing bowls for combining wet and dry ingredients separately. Stainless steel or glass bowls work great.
A sturdy whisk is essential for beating eggs and sugar to achieve a smooth texture. A balloon whisk is ideal for incorporation of air.

- Gluten-Free & Vegan: Combine the tips from above for a cake that’s both gluten-free and vegan. Your friends with dietary restrictions will thank you! 😊
Faq
- Why is my cake dense?
Ensure you’re not overmixing the batter and accurately measure all ingredients. Sifting your dry ingredients helps create a lighter texture.
- Can I use any type of bananas?
Very ripe bananas are best for this recipe as they are sweeter and more flavorful. If your bananas aren’t ripe enough, place them in a brown paper bag for a day or two to speed up the process.
- How can I prevent the cake from sticking to the pan?
It’s essential to grease your loaf pan well or line it with parchment paper. This ensures easy removal without tearing the cake.
- Can I add nuts to the recipe?
Absolutely! Chopped walnuts or pecans would add a delightful crunch to the cake. Fold them into the batter just before baking.
- How do I store the cake?
Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the cake and thaw as needed.
- Can I double the recipe?
Yes, you can double the recipe and bake it in two separate loaf pans. Make sure to adjust the baking time as needed and check for doneness with a skewer or toothpick.
