Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 120 grams unsalted butter (softened)
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 2 pieces eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 210 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 120 grams sour cream
- 100 grams chopped chocolate or chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee powder
- 65 grams all-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 65 grams brown sugar (for streusel)
- 45 grams cold butter (for streusel)
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for streusel)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) square or round baking pan.
Prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine 65 grams of all-purpose flour, 65 grams of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 45 grams of cold butter cut into cubes. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
Mash the bananas in a medium-sized bowl until smooth and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream 120 grams of softened unsalted butter, 150 grams of granulated sugar, and 50 grams of brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and the mashed bananas.
In a separate bowl, sift together 210 grams of all-purpose flour, 30 grams of cocoa powder, 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoons of baking soda, and 0.25 teaspoons of salt.
Dissolve 1 tablespoon of instant coffee powder in the sour cream. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream coffee mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Fold in 100 grams of chopped chocolate or chocolate chips.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and spread it out using a spatula.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy!
