Equipment

  • Silicone loaf pan 27 x 13 x 6.2 cm
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Spatula
  • Hot water bath setup a heatproof bowl over simmering water

Ingredients

  • 100 g dark chocolate
  • 400 g bananas (3 bananas, unpeeled)
  • 3 eggs
  • 200 g brown sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 250 g wheat flour Type 405
  • 30 g baked cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 150 ml neutral cooking oil e.g., sunflower oil
  • 150 ml buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (or 160°C for fan-assisted ovens) and rinse the silicone loaf pan with cold water.
  • Chop and melt the dark chocolate over a hot water bath; set it aside to cool slightly.
  • Peel and cube the bananas, then beat the eggs and brown sugar until fluffy; stir in a pinch of salt and the cooled melted chocolate.
  • In another bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda, and baking powder; gradually mix into the egg mixture, alternating with oil and buttermilk, then fold in banana cubes.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top, and bake for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean; let cool for 10 minutes in the pan.
  • Melt more dark chocolate with butter over a hot water bath, let cool slightly, then pour over the cooled cake, spread it evenly, and top with banana slices.

Notes

Use ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots for enhanced sweetness and moisture. You can substitute regular milk with a splash of lemon juice if you don't have buttermilk. For a healthier option, consider using gluten-free flour or reducing the sugar. This cake can be stored at room temperature for up to three days in an airtight container, or wrapped individually and frozen for longer storage.
