Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas (medium to large)
- 2 eggs
- 50g dark chocolate (sugar-free if desired)
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond or oat)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the 50g of dark chocolate in 30-second bursts, stirring in between until smooth. - Mash the Bananas
In a separate mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until creamy and lump-free. - Mix Wet Ingredients
Add the eggs and milk to the mashed bananas. Mix well until combined. - Add Dry Ingredients
Stir in the cocoa powder and baking powder. Finally, pour in the melted chocolate and mix until the batter is smooth. - Bake or Microwave
- Microwave Option: Pour into a greased microwave-safe mug or bowl and microwave for 2 to 3 minutes until the center is just set.
- Oven Option: Pour into a greased ramekin or small pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15–18 minutes.
- Cool Slightly and Serve
Let cool for a minute or two before enjoying. Serve as-is or topped with sugar-free whipped cream or fresh berries.
Method
This cake relies on the natural binding and sweetening powers of bananas, the richness of real chocolate, and the leavening of baking powder to rise just enough without flour. The eggs help set the cake while providing structure and protein. It’s all mixed in one bowl—no mess, no fuss.
