Chocolate Banana Cake with 3+1 Ingredients

Ingredients

• 3 ripe bananas
• 3 eggs
• 25 g cocoa powder (about 3 tbsp)
• 1 tsp baking powder (optional)
• 100 g dark chocolate (3.5 oz), for topping (optional)
• Shredded coconut, for topping (optional)

Preparation

1. Peel the bananas, cut them into pieces, and place them in a bowl. Mash them well with a fork.
2. Add the eggs and mix with a hand mixer until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the cocoa powder and baking powder. Add them to the banana mixture and mix until smooth.
4. Line a 15 × 15 cm (6 × 6 inch) square baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan.
5. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 15–20 minutes.
6. Once baked, let the cake cool for a few minutes.
7. For the chocolate topping, chop the dark chocolate and place it in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in short intervals until melted and smooth.
8. Transfer the cake to a plate. Using a wooden skewer, gently poke holes over the top and pour the melted chocolate over the cake.
9. For the healthier version, simply skip the dark chocolate and sprinkle the cake with shredded coconut instead.
10. Slice and enjoy while it is still slightly warm.

Baking Tips

For the best natural sweetness, use very ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots. If you prefer a sweeter cake, you can add a little erythritol, powdered sugar, or honey to taste. When using extra sweetener, you can leave out the dark chocolate topping and simply sprinkle the finished cake with shredded coconut. This creates a lighter and healthier version of the dessert.

Storage

Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Because it contains bananas and eggs, refrigeration is recommended. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving if you prefer a softer texture.
