You just have to try and prepare The Best Double Chocolate Banana Bread Cake
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup Dutch-process cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 3 large brown bananas (mashed)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- ¼ cup canola, vegetable oil, or melted coconut oil
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, divided
Method:
- Preheat oven to 180°C
- Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
- Set aside. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork.
- Add the melted butter and oil and stir until combined.
- Stir in the brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
- Do not overmix.
- Stir in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips over the top of the bread.
- Bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out mostly clean, you might have some melted chocolate chips on the toothpick and that is fine.
- You just don’t want a lot of gooey batter.
- Check at the 50-minute mark just to be safe as oven times vary.
- Remove the pan from the oven and set it on a wire cooling rack.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
- Run a knife around the edges of the bread and carefully remove it from the pan.
- Let the bread cool on the wire cooling rack until only slightly warm.
- Cut into slices and serve.
