Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3 medium Ripe bananas
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Buttermilk
- 0.75 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Optionally, line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the bananas and mix well until combined.
Stir in the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing gently after each addition to avoid overmixing.
Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
Slice and enjoy your Chocolate Banana Heaven Cake!
