Serves: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well blended.
- In another bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, 1 cup of buttermilk, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use a whisk or an electric mixer to combine these ingredients until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the mashed bananas and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly to ensure even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- After cooling, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
- Slice the cake into squares and enjoy your delicious Black Bottom Banana Cake!
Tips
- Use overripe bananas for maximum flavor and sweetness - the darker and spottier, the better!
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature to ensure smooth mixing and even baking.
- Don't overmix the batter - mix just until the ingredients are combined to keep the cake tender.
- Check the cake's doneness by inserting a toothpick - it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling and ensure perfect texture.
- For an extra indulgent touch, consider adding a cream cheese frosting or dusting with powdered sugar.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
- For best results, use fresh, high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips.
