👨🍳 How to Make It (Step-by-step)
✔️ Step 1: Choose the Right Bananas
Use 2 very ripe bananas — the ones with brown spots! They are sweetest and easiest to mash.
💡 The riper the bananas, the richer the flavour and natural sweetness.
✔️ Step 2: Mash Until Smooth
Mash the bananas in a bowl using a fork or blend until creamy.
💡 Avoid lumps — they can affect the cake texture.
✔️ Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients
Combine 1 tbsp cocoa powder, 1 tbsp baking powder, and 1 tbsp vanilla sugar in a separate bowl.
💡 Sift the cocoa for a smoother batter and richer flavour.
✔️ Step 4: Add Eggs
Add 2 room-temperature eggs into the banana mixture and whisk well.
💡 Room-temp eggs blend more evenly into the batter.
✔️ Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry
Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the banana-egg mixture. Stir until no lumps remain.
💡 Don’t overmix — just enough for a uniform texture.
✔️ Step 6: Prepare the Cake Tin
Line a 20 cm tin with baking paper on the bottom.
💡 Grease the sides lightly to prevent sticking.
✔️ Step 7: Bake to Perfection
Preheat oven to 180°C (360°F). Bake for 45–50 minutes.
💡 Insert a toothpick — it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
✔️ Step 8: Cool the Cake
Let the cake cool in the tin before removing.
💡 Cooling helps the texture set properly.
✔️ Step 9: Make the Glaze
Melt 100 g dark chocolate with 100 ml milk and 1 tbsp butter. Stir until glossy.
💡 Use gentle heat or a double boiler to avoid burning the chocolate.
✔️ Step 10: Pour and Serve
Pour glaze over the cake, spreading evenly. Let it set slightly before slicing.
💡 Add berries or chopped nuts on top for extra flair.
