A combination of banana and chocolate

Banana and chocolate combined in one cake – isn’t it an irresistibly delicious combination?! That’s exactly what this cake is made of. Thanks to bananas, it tastes incredibly moist, but at the same time is very fluffy and soft.

In addition, the batter is made with cocoa, which makes the banana cake taste chocolaty. And to give it even more chocolate flavor, it is sprinkled with chocolate chips before baking.

Moist chocolate banana bread in loaf pan

I baked this moist chocolate banana bread in a 25 cm x 10 cm loaf pan. Instead of a loaf pan you can also use another baking pan.

For example, you can bake the chocolate cake with bananas in a round springform pan. A bundt pan is also quite suitable for it. Also, you can make chocolate banana muffins with the sponge.

Note that depending on the size of your baking pan, the baking time given in the recipe may vary. For example, muffins need much less time in the oven than the cake.

It is important not to bake the banana cake with chocolate longer than necessary. Otherwise, it might end up tasting dry instead of moist.

Quick, easy and so delicious

This chocolate banana bread is really one of the easiest cakes to make. You just need to mix all the ingredients to make the batter, pour the batter into the loaf pan and put it in the oven. After that, it just remains to wait for the banana cake with chocolate to finish baking. And it’s ready to be snacked on.

For the easy recipe you need only a few common ingredients. That is, first of all, bananas. They must be very ripe.

You will also need cocoa powder, melted and cooled butter, sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder and vanilla.

To sprinkle the cake, you will need dark chocolate, which you will have to chop beforehand. Alternatively, you can buy chocolate drops for this purpose.

How to make the banana chocolate bread: this is how it works

How to make chocolate cake with bananas: tips and tricks

• Use very ripe or overripe bananas that have brown spots or are completely brown for the recipe. Unripe bananas are not suitable for this purpose.
• You can adjust the amount of sugar for the sponge to taste, depending on how sweet you like the banana chocolate bread.
• Do not use hot melted butter for the batter, let it cool down first.
• Vanilla options include vanilla sugar, vanilla powder, vanilla extract or vanilla bean scraped out.
• The amount of flour given in the recipe may vary. Therefore, add the dry mixture of flour, cocoa powder and baking powder to the liquid banana mixture in batches until you get a thick batter.
• Do not stir the dough too long, but only briefly until it has a homogeneous consistency. Otherwise, the cake could taste rubbery later.
• Instead of chopping chocolate yourself, you can also use chocolate drops to sprinkle on the cake.
• To bake the cake, you’ll need an approx. 25 cm x 10 cm loaf pan.
• Be sure to grease the loaf pan thoroughly so that you can easily remove the chocolate banana bread from the pan after baking.
• Instead of baking in a loaf pan, you can bake the chocolate banana bread in another baking dish. See my notes on this above. Depending on the size of the baking dish, the baking time listed in the recipe may vary.
• You can check if the chocolate banana bread is done baking with a toothpick. To do this, insert a toothpick briefly into the center of the cake and see if it comes out almost clean. If the toothpick remains smeared in raw dough, you still need to bake the cake. If only a few moist crumbs remain on the toothpick, it’s done. If the toothpick comes out dry, it could be that you baked the cake too long, so it might taste a little dry.
• Store the chocolate cake with bananas in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for about 5 days. Alternatively, you can also freeze it.
