YUMMY, EASY CHOCOLATE BANANA CAKE



Yummy, Easy Chocolate Banana Cake image

So easy, so good! Only 3 ingredients. This recipe was a happy mistake. I misread a recipe and discovered this fantastic treat! It has a different texture than a regular cake. Sort of a cross between cake and brownies, it has a lovely chewiness. Lovely hot out of the oven alone or with ice cream, or when cool topped with whipped cream.

CHOCOLATE BANANA LAYER CAKE



Chocolate Banana Layer Cake image

This is our family's favorite chocolate cake recipe. Family lore says it came from a friend of my aunt's during the 1940's. 'Harriet G.' brought it to a ladies' 'coffee-klatsch,' and my Aunt Lu asked for the recipe.

Time 1h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 ¼ cups unsifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon baking soda
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
¾ cup butter at room temperature
1 ½ cups white sugar
2 eggs at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup very ripe bananas, mashed
½ cup buttermilk, or as needed
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons milk, or as needed
2 ripe bananas, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 9-inch layer cake pans, and line with parchment paper. Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and 6 tablespoons of cocoa powder in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mash the butter with the white sugar until blended, then mix in the eggs, one at a time, mixing the egg in before adding the next one. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, then mix in mashed bananas and buttermilk, alternating with the flour mixture in three additions. Add in just enough buttermilk to make a workable batter (bananas may vary in moisture content). Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before turning out onto racks to finish cooling.
  • In a bowl, mash the cream cheese and 3 tablespoons of butter until thoroughly combined; mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa powder, and beat in milk, a little at a time, until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.
  • Place a cake layer onto a cake plate, and frost the layer with about 1/3 of the frosting; top the layer with a layer of sliced bananas. Place the second layer onto the cake, and frost top and sides with remaining 2/3 of the frosting. Top cake with decorative slices of banana, if desired.

CHOCOLATE & BANANA CAKE

Just one look at this chocolate and banana treat is enough to know it won't stay in the cake tin for long

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dessert, Dinner, Supper

Time 1h35m

Yield Makes 1 large loaf cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

100ml sunflower oil, plus extra to grease
175g caster sugar
175g self-raising flour
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
4 tbsp cocoa powder
100g chocolate chips or chunks
175g very ripe bananas
3 medium eggs, 2 separated
50ml milk
100g milk chocolate
100ml soured cream
handful dried banana chips, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease and line a 2lb loaf tin with baking parchment (allow it to come 2cm above top of tin). Mix the sugar, flour, bicarb, cocoa and chocolate in a large bowl.
  • Mash the bananas in a bowl and stir in the whole egg plus 2 yolks, followed by the oil and milk. Beat the egg whites until stiff. Quickly stir the wet banana mixture into the dry ingredients, stir in a quarter of the egg whites to loosen the mixture, then gently fold in the rest. Gently scrape into the tin and bake for 1 hr 10-15 mins, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
  • Cool in the tin on a wire rack. To make the icing, melt the chocolate and soured cream together in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Chill in the fridge until spreadable. Remove cake from tin, roughly swirl icing over and scatter with the banana chips.
