Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan.
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Make three small wells in the dry ingredients. Into one well, add the mashed bananas; into the second, pour the white vinegar; and into the third, add the vanilla extract.
Pour the water over the top of the entire mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
