Ingredients

▢ 225 g mashed ripe bananas about 3 bananas
▢ 200 g dark chocolate (70%) chopped

Instructions

Blend the ripe banana chunks in a blender until completely smooth to create the base for the chocolate banana cake mixture.
Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave in short intervals.
Add the melted chocolate to the mashed banana and blend again until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the mixture into a 15 cm removable mold lined with parchment paper. Gently tap the mold on the counter to remove air bubbles and smooth the surface. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, until fully set and firm.
Unmold, slice, and serve chilled.

Notes

Blend Thoroughly: I like to let the blender run for a full minute to get the banana and chocolate mixture ultra smooth.

Use Very Ripe Bananas: I always go for bananas with lots of brown spots; they add so much natural sweetness.

Use Good Chocolate: I prefer using chocolate around 70% cocoa. It keeps the cake rich without making it overly sweet.

Line the Mold Well: I press the parchment into the base and sides so it’s easier to lift the cake out cleanly.

Chill Overnight: I leave it in the fridge overnight so it sets up with a firm, truffle-like texture I love.
