CHOCOLATE BANANA LAYER CAKE



Chocolate Banana Layer Cake image

This is our family's favorite chocolate cake recipe. Family lore says it came from a friend of my aunt's during the 1940's. 'Harriet G.' brought it to a ladies' 'coffee-klatsch,' and my Aunt Lu asked for the recipe.

Time 1h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 ¼ cups unsifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon baking soda
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
¾ cup butter at room temperature
1 ½ cups white sugar
2 eggs at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup very ripe bananas, mashed
½ cup buttermilk, or as needed
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons milk, or as needed
2 ripe bananas, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 9-inch layer cake pans, and line with parchment paper. Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and 6 tablespoons of cocoa powder in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mash the butter with the white sugar until blended, then mix in the eggs, one at a time, mixing the egg in before adding the next one. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, then mix in mashed bananas and buttermilk, alternating with the flour mixture in three additions. Add in just enough buttermilk to make a workable batter (bananas may vary in moisture content). Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before turning out onto racks to finish cooling.
  • In a bowl, mash the cream cheese and 3 tablespoons of butter until thoroughly combined; mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa powder, and beat in milk, a little at a time, until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.
  • Place a cake layer onto a cake plate, and frost the layer with about 1/3 of the frosting; top the layer with a layer of sliced bananas. Place the second layer onto the cake, and frost top and sides with remaining 2/3 of the frosting. Top cake with decorative slices of banana, if desired.

YUMMY, EASY CHOCOLATE BANANA CAKE



Yummy, Easy Chocolate Banana Cake image

So easy, so good! Only 3 ingredients. This recipe was a happy mistake. I misread a recipe and discovered this fantastic treat! It has a different texture than a regular cake. Sort of a cross between cake and brownies, it has a lovely chewiness. Lovely hot out of the oven alone or with ice cream, or when cool topped with whipped cream.

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar, plus more for dusting pan
6 eggs
1 1/4 cups mashed ripe banana (about 2 bananas)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups flour
1 cup sour cream
Pinch of kosher salt
1 1/3 cups heavy cream
1 cup honey
2/3 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Big pinch of salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Unsalted butter, melted, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Spray the inside of an angel food cake pan (easier to use) or fluted Bundt pan with nonstick spray. Lightly dust with sugar and set aside.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter with the sugars until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing each one in completely before adding the next. Add the mashed banana and the vanilla and lemon extracts. Add the baking soda and beat until completely incorporated.
  • Add a third of the flour to the wet mixture, beating it in completely. Then add a third of the sour cream, beating that in completely. Continue to alternate flour and sour cream until all of it is incorporated. Beat in the salt, then pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 70 to 90 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 5 minutes. Use a small metal spatula to carefully release the cake from the pan. Unmold the cake and let cool before slicing.
  • For the chocolate sauce: Combine the cream, honey, brown sugar, cocoa powder and 1 cup of the chocolate chips in a saucepot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then add the salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce becomes completely smooth, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Off the heat, stir in the remaining 1 cup chocolate chips and the butter. Transfer to a jar and set aside until ready to serve.
  • To serve: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Brush slices of the cake with some melted butter, and grill just until light grill marks appear, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a serving platter. Drizzle with chocolate sauce and enjoy.
