    Chocolate Banana Oat Cake Recipe

    hocolate Banana Oat Cake Recipe

    Ingredients

    • 150 g (1 ½ cups) oat flakes
    • 150 g (⅔ cup) milk
    • 2 eggs
    • 2 bananas, mashed
    • 1 g (optional) sweetener (like stevia or honey, depending on your taste)
    • 5 g (1 tsp) baking powder
    • 30 g (¼ cup) cocoa powder
    • 30 g (1 oz) walnuts, chopped
    • 30 g (1 oz) dark chocolate, melted or chopped (for topping)

    Instructions

    1. Prepare the Oats

    In a small bowl, combine 150 g of oat flakes with 150 g (⅔ cup) of milk. Let the oats soak for about 10 minutes. This softens the oats, allowing them to blend seamlessly into the cake batter and provide a tender texture to the cake.

    2. Prepare the Batter

    • In a separate bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas until they form a smooth, lump-free mixture. Bananas will add natural sweetness and moisture to the cake.
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 eggs with 1 g of sweetener (optional). If your bananas are very ripe, you may not need the additional sweetener. Adjust based on your taste preference.
    • Add the mashed bananas, 30 g (¼ cup) of cocoa powder, and 5 g (1 tsp) of baking powder to the egg mixture. Stir well until all the ingredients are combined and the batter is smooth.

    3. Combine Ingredients

    Once the oats have softened in the milk, add them to the banana and egg mixture. Stir until the oats are fully incorporated into the batter, ensuring an even consistency.

    4. Add Walnuts

    Fold in 30 g (1 oz) of chopped walnuts. The walnuts add a satisfying crunch and a nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with the chocolate and banana.

    5. Bake

    • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
    • Grease a cake pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
    • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
    • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be firm but slightly springy to the touch.

    6. Add Chocolate

    Once the cake has fully cooled, melt 30 g (1 oz) of dark chocolate and drizzle it over the top of the cake. You can also chop the dark chocolate and sprinkle it on top if you prefer a chunkier texture.

    7. Serve

    Optionally, garnish the cake with more chopped walnuts or other toppings like fresh berries, shredded coconut, or a dusting of cocoa powder. Slice and enjoy!

      • Dry yeast: 2 tablespoons (10 g)
      • Flour: 4 cups (500 g)
      • Salt: 1 teaspoon

    Directions:

    1. Activate the Yeast:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast is dissolved and foamy.

    2. Prepare the Dough:
    Add the flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms.

    3. Knead the Dough:
    Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour, one tablespoon at a time.

    4. First Rise:
    Place the dough in a clean, lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.

    5. Shape the Dough:
    Punch down the risen dough to release air bubbles. Shape it into a loaf and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a greased loaf pan.

    6. Second Rise:
    Cover the shaped dough with a cloth and let it rise again for 30-45 minutes until doubled in size.

    7. Bake the Bread:
    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Bake for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

    8. Cool and Serve:
    Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy your homemade bread warm or at room temperature!

          • Softened butter or margarine
          • Granulated sugar
          • Vanilla sugar

        Beat together using an electric mixer for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is light and fluffy.

      2. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure the mixture is smooth.

     

    1. Gently fold in the quark until just combined—do not overmix.
    2. In a separate bowl, whisk together:
        • Flour
        • Baking powder

       

    3. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined. Do not overmix to avoid a dense cake.

      1. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

     

    1. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until:

    Pro Tips

      • Use room temperature ingredients: This helps the butter, eggs, and quark mix together more smoothly, resulting in a fluffier cake.

    • Test doneness with a skewer: A clean skewer inserted into the center of the cake indicates it’s done.
    • Chill the cake before slicing: If you prefer a firmer texture, chilling the cake for a bit before serving can help.
    • Add lemon zest: For an added burst of flavor, you can add 1 tablespoon of lemon zest into the batter for a slight citrus note.

  • Banana Chocolate Chip Cake

    Banana Chocolate Chip Cake

    Banana Chocolate Chip Cake
    Table of Contents
    Ingredients
    Bananas – 3 medium-sized (ripe and mashed)
    Eggs – 2 large
    Sugar – 100 g (divided into two portions)
    Vanilla – a pinch
    Salt – a pinch
    Melted butter – 60 g
    Sour cream (15%) – 120 g
    Baking powder – 1 tsp
    Flour – 200 g
    Chocolate chips – 70 g
    Baking Information:
    Baking pan diameter – 24 cm
    Baking temperature – 180°C (356°F)
    Baking time – 45-50 minutes
    Oven mode – Top and bottom heating, no convection
    Step-by-Step Instructions
    Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
    Mash the bananas:
    Start by peeling and mashing 3 ripe bananas in a large bowl using a fork or potato masher. Make sure the bananas are smooth with some small chunks for texture.
    Melt the butter:
    Melt 60 g of butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the batter.
    Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
    Beat the eggs and sugar:
    In a separate large bowl, crack 2 eggs and add 100 g of sugar. Using a whisk or hand mixer, beat the eggs and sugar together until the mixture becomes pale and slightly frothy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
    Add vanilla and salt:
    Add a pinch of vanilla and a pinch of salt to the egg mixture, mixing well to incorporate the flavors.
    Add the mashed bananas, melted butter, and sour cream:
    To the egg mixture, fold in the mashed bananas, cooled melted butter, and 120 g of sour cream. Stir until everything is evenly combined. The sour cream will add a creamy richness to the cake.

    Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients
    Sift the flour and baking powder:
    In a separate bowl, sift together 200 g of flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. This ensures that the flour is aerated and helps the cake rise evenly.
    Incorporate the dry ingredients:
    Gradually fold the sifted flour and baking powder into the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the cake dense. The batter should be smooth with no visible streaks of flour.
    Add the chocolate chips:
    Gently fold in 70 g of chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout. The chocolate chips will melt while baking, creating rich pockets of chocolate in every bite.
    Step 4: Prepare the Baking Pan and Bake
    Prepare the baking pan:
    Grease a 24 cm round baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
    Preheat the oven:
    Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) with the top and bottom heating mode. Make sure the oven is fully heated before placing the cake inside.
    Bake the cake:
    Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the cake is done. If the toothpick comes out with wet batter, bake for a few more minutes and check again.
    Cool the cake:
    Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

    Step 5: Serve
    Slice and serve:
    Once the Banana Chocolate Chip Cake has cooled, slice it into portions and serve. This cake can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a scoop of ice cream, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
    Optional garnish:
    For a decorative touch, you can sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top of the cake before baking or drizzle melted chocolate over the finished cake.
    Cooking Tips
    Ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the cake will be. Bananas with brown spots are perfect for this recipe.
    Chocolate options: You can use semi-sweet, milk, or even dark chocolate chips depending on your preference. You can also substitute with chopped chocolate bars or chocolate chunks.
    Add-ins: For added texture and flavor, you can mix in chopped nuts such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds to the batter.
    Preventing chocolate chips from sinking: Toss the chocolate chips in a little flour before adding them to the batter. This will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
    Storage
    At room temperature: Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. The cake will stay moist and flavorful during this time.
    In the refrigerator: If you want to keep the cake for longer, store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Before serving, you can bring the cake to room temperature or warm it in the microwave for a few seconds.
    In the freezer: This cake freezes well. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and bring to room temperature before serving.
