Delicious Chocolate Banana Cake for Any Occasion

Start by whisking the eggs and sugar together until fluffy, which should take about 5 minutes. You want to achieve a light and airy texture that will help the cake rise beautifully.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.

Slowly incorporate the vegetable oil, milk, and mashed bananas into the egg mixture. Mixing these wet ingredients well will create a smooth batter.

Gradually add the dry mixture in three parts, folding gently until all is combined and no flour streaks remain. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can lead to a dense cake.

Finally, stir in the chocolate and chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

Prepare your baking molds by greasing them lightly and then fill each mold with the batter to about 2/3 full. This will allow room for the cake to rise without overflowing.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) for approximately 35 to 40 minutes. The baking time can vary based on the size of your molds.

To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; it should come out clean when the cakes are ready.

While your cake is cooling, you can prepare the glaze. Warm the cream in a saucepan until it just begins to boil.

Remove from heat and add the chocolate, stirring until the mixture is smooth and uniform. This rich glaze will add a beautiful finish to your cake.

Once the cakes have cooled completely, drizzle the chocolate glaze over the top. Allow it to set slightly before serving, to achieve a lovely finish.

Your delicious chocolate banana cakes are now ready to delight your guests for any occasion!
