Recipe Reviews
friederike from Berlin,
In terms of chocolate, this cake is serious business. Such a load of chocolate (meant in a good way!)! The banana pales a bit in comparison, but is still there, subtler than in a normal banana bread. Nice texture, too.
I weighed and measured my bananas. With skin, they were about 145 g, without skin 120 g. Two bananas mashed were one cup, so to get a little more than one cup I mashed 2.5 bananas instead of 3 (= 300 g skinless banana). And 1/2 cup cocoa is 50 g. I used the smaller form, which was just right.
Edited 26 August 2018:
I've decided I prefer these cakes separated; I'd rather have a normal banana bread, and a non-banana chocolate cake. It's not like the combination doesn't work, it's just that it doesn't bring out what I want from a banana bread - although the texture and level of chocolateyness is divine!
