Chocolate Banana Cake Recipe
This chocolate cake is quit different and has a great taste. Oven baked with ripe bananas and dark cocoa powder with added chocolate chips.

Just adding some cocoa powder, it makes it absolutely so delicious. It is to me the best tasting icing yet. Very tasty and delicious dessert to serve for any occasion and tea snack or treat. Homemade recipe and easy instructions to follow.
Is banana cake made of banana?
With normal cake ingredients for this cake you just add ripe mashed bananas. After all bananas are a replacement ingredient for eggs if you do not have them to make a recipes with. It just add a moister sponge and taste. Guess using box cake mix with be the same as just adding mashed ripe bananas. In my recipe site I use natural ingredients all made from scratch and home. Never use boxed ingredients.
What’s the difference between banana bread and banana cake?
The banana cakes can often be more moist inside, whereas the banana breads are firmer and less moist. Also a cake recipe has more sugar in as it is a sweet dessert whereas banana breads use less sugar. A banana loaf does not require icing. Also made with all purpose flour or whole wheat flours. A cake is made with lighter cake flour (which is lighter) and then iced.
Can bananas be too ripe for banana cake?
A banana that has dark or black skin is ok, but if the inside banana itself is dark then it is on the way to be rotten. They will also be leaking juice or fluid. Not good to use in cakes or any other recipes. Rather soak them in some water in a small bucket to soak for 12 – 24 hrs for a plant fertilizer. Works very well.
