Ingredients You’ll Need
- Ripe bananas (the riper, the better!)
- All-purpose flour
- Unsalted butter
- Brown sugar
- Eggs
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Cocoa powder
- Salt
- Vanilla extract
- Milk
- Dark chocolate (for the sauce)
- Granola (homemade, if you’re feeling fancy)
Step 1: Mixing it Up
We start by mashing those overripe bananas – the star of our show – in a large mixing bowl. We add in the melted butter, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and a splash of milk. With a whisk in hand, we blend all these luscious ingredients until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: The Dry Dance
In a separate bowl, we mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. With a quick swirl, we combine these dry ingredients before gently folding them into our banana mixture. The aroma is already intoxicating!
Step 3: Into the Oven
Preheat the oven, pour the batter into a greased loaf pan, and pop it in for a relaxing bake. While the cake works its magic, let’s prepare the chocolate sauce – a velvety concoction of dark chocolate melted with a dash of cream. The scent alone will transport you to dessert heaven.
Step 4: The Big Reveal
Once the cake is perfectly golden and a toothpick comes out clean, it’s time for the grand reveal. Drizzle that luscious chocolate sauce over the warm cake and sprinkle some homemade granola on top for that extra crunch. Voilà! Your masterpiece is ready to be devoured.
