Just one look is enough to make you immediately hungry. A layer of melted chocolate bar instantly catches the eye. Suffice it to say that resisting such a tantalizing treat is almost impossible. And since the cake is made with bananas and dark chocolate, it's not one of the most calorie-dense pastries around. This means you can indulge in such a culinary extravagance from time to time.
A homemade cake with a chocolate twist could become your favorite dessert
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup of sugar,
- 5 tablespoons of oil,
- 2 bananas,
- 2 eggs,
- 1 cup of wheat flour,
- 5 teaspoons of cocoa,
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder,
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda,
- 1 pinch of salt,
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract,
- 1/3 cup of milk,
- 1 bar of dark chocolate.
Instructions:
Step 1. Begin the recipe by preparing the bananas. First, peel them, then mash them with a fork. Afterwards, add the bananas to a bowl along with the eggs, cocoa, and oil.
Step 2. Next, to the same bowl, add the baking powder, baking soda, vanilla extract, milk, sugar, flour, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly with a kitchen whisk. After obtaining a homogenous mixture, transfer it to a baking pan lined with parchment paper. In this case, I'm using a loaf pan.
Place the pan into a preheated oven for about 35 minutes. During this time, set the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 4. After the cake is removed from the oven, arrange a bar of dark chocolate on top. Then, return the cake to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
Step 5. I recommend serving the finished cake while it's still warm, which allows the chocolate to remain slightly melted. There you have it, enjoy your meal!
