This Double Chocolate Banana Cake is super moist and an absolute chocolate lovers dream!
This Double Chocolate Banana Cake was a big thumbs up for my family, even my hubby loved it and he's not a huge fan of chocolate. This cake has the perfect amount of chocolate without being to sweet. Comes out moist and fudgy every time, perfect served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
I always seem to have left over bananas that get to ripe, so I am always making banana bread. The addition of cocoa and chocolate chips gives it the extra richness and applesauce makes it super moist without adding any oil.
Combining chocolate and bananas into one delicious cake is pure heaven. Doesn't even need any frosting. Looking for another quick and easy dessert that comes together fast check out my Chocolate Wafer Icebox Cake.
This recipe uses an 8x8 cake pan, if I happen to have a lot of ripe bananas I will double the batch and freeze the second one.
I usually sprinkle some powdered sugar over the top, more for a visual appearance but the choice it up to you.
This cake is simply mouthwatering! Look at that fudgy goodness, you have got to give this one a try.
