Why does this chocolate cake bring so much joy to snack time?
After trying many sweet cake recipes, we have undoubtedly found the BEST possible combination! For the base, we start with a cake batter featuring dark chocolate and peanut butter for a very soft and generous result. But the real surprise of this dessert is the whole banana that reveals itself only when sliced! It brings the small fruity note to this cake and, above all, an ultra-melting texture when tasting.
To recreate this delicious and original recipe at home, it’s child’s play. We recommend choosing a fairly ripe and straight banana to hide well inside the cake. Whether for breakfast, snack, or to end the meal on a sweet note, this chocolate cake with peanut butter and its banana heart will blow your taste buds away!
To make this recipe, follow the steps below :
CHOCOLATE CAKE, PEANUT BUTTER AND BANANA HEART 🍫🥜🍌
Serves 6 to 8
Ingredients :
– 1 banana (preferably fairly straight)
– 3 eggs
– 120 g sugar
– 150 g flour
– 1 packet of baking powder
– 100 g melted butter
– 100 g melted dark chocolate
– 3 Tbsp peanut butter
– a pinch of salt
Preparation :
1. Whisk the eggs and sugar in a bowl until the mixture whitens. Add the melted butter, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
2. Stir in the melted dark chocolate and peanut butter, mixing until you obtain a smooth, homogeneous batter.
3. Pour the batter into a greased and floured loaf pan. Push the peeled whole banana into the center so that it is completely covered by the batter.
4. Add a bit more peanut butter and create zig-zag patterns for a marbled effect. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 40 minutes.
5. Check doneness by inserting a knife into the center of the cake: it should come out clean.
5. Allow to cool completely before unmolding. Enjoy!
