Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make chocolate banana cake? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this.

2. STEP 2

   

   To prepare the sponge cake, combine the eggs with sugar and beat at maximum mixer speed until a fluffy white mass is obtained. The whipping time will depend on the power of the mixer. Focus on the splendor of the mass. The beaten eggs drip thickly from the whisk.

3. STEP 3

   

   Combine flour with cocoa and soda. Sift everything through a sieve. Stir the flour mixture into the beaten eggs. Do this by hand using a whisk to keep the mixture fluffy. The finished dough is neither liquid nor thick.

4. STEP 4

   

   Line the bottom of the baking dish with parchment and grease it a little with vegetable oil. There is no need to lubricate the sides. Pour the finished dough into a mold (18-20 cm) and place in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for about 40-50 minutes. Be guided by your oven.

5. STEP 5

   

   Remove the finished biscuit from the oven and cool. Then wrap it in cling film and put it in the refrigerator overnight to rest.

6. STEP 6

   

   To assemble the cake, cut the sponge cake into 3 layers.

7. STEP 7

   

   Peel the bananas and mash with a fork. Let small pieces remain. To prevent bananas from browning, sprinkle them with a little lemon juice.

8. STEP 8

   

   Whip the heavy cream together with powdered sugar until it forms a fluffy, stable cream.

9. STEP 9

   

   Mix 2/3 of the cream with bananas. I like to make this cake with banana cream with small pieces of bananas. But you can simply layer the cakes with cream and place the bananas in slices.

10. STEP 10

    

    The cakes can be soaked in sugar syrup or water. Place the banana cream on the bottom layer. Then place the second cake layer.

11. STEP 11

    

    So assemble the cake. Grease the top and sides of the cake with the reserved 1/3 of the cream. Place the cake in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours until it soaks and the cream hardens. In general, the cake is ready! The appearance can be customized as you wish.

12. STEP 12

    

    For external leveling, I whipped more cream from cream and sugar. The top of the cake can be poured with melted chocolate and decorated with any fruit. Enjoy your treat!
