Description

A healthy and delicious chocolate cake made without sugar or flour, using ripe bananas and cocoa powder for natural sweetness and rich chocolate flavor. This easy-to-make recipe is perfect for a guilt-free dessert that’s moist and fudgy, with an optional dark chocolate glaze for an extra indulgent touch.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe Bananas
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/3 cup Cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder

Optional Topping

  • 2 oz Dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a 6-inch (15cm) round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper to ensure easy removal after baking.
  2. Blend the Batter: In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe bananas, eggs, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and lump-free, being careful not to overmix to maintain a good texture.
  3. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly. Bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, indicating the cake is done.
  4. Add Chocolate Topping (Optional): While the cake is still hot, scatter the dark chocolate pieces on top. Let them melt for a few minutes, then use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate into a smooth glaze over the cake’s surface.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely at room temperature. Slice and serve as is, or place it in the refrigerator to chill if you prefer a fudgier texture.

Notes

  • Make sure to use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overblend the batter to avoid a dense cake.
  • Dark chocolate topping is optional but adds a rich, glossy finish.
  • Chilling the cake enhances its fudgy texture and flavor.
  • Use a toothpick test to check doneness to avoid overbaking.
