There are recipes you just can’t stop making, and this banana cake definitely belongs in that category. It’s soft, moist, full of delicate banana flavor, and packed with chunks of milk and dark chocolate that melt into every bite. It’s the kind of cake you make from overripe bananas sitting on the counter - but it turns out far more festive than you’d expect.
It’s easy to make, doesn’t require a mixer, and is perfect for entertaining, a morning coffee, or a sweet treat in the middle of the week.
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1 and 1/2 cups flour
- 1 packet baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 100 g chopped milk chocolate
- 100 g chopped dark chocolate
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 170°C and grease a loaf pan or a small round cake pan.
Thoroughly mash the bananas in a large bowl.
Add the eggs, sugar, and oil, and whisk until smooth.
Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix just until combined.
Fold in the milk chocolate and dark chocolate gently.
Pour into the pan and bake for about 40–50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
Let cool slightly and serve - you can also top with ice cream or powdered sugar.
