Chocolate cake
Ingredients:
- Bananas: 3, ripe and mashed
- Eggs: 2
- Cocoa Powder: 2 tablespoons
- Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon
- Flour: 1 ½ cups (190 g)
- Sugar: ½ cup (100 g) (optional, depending on desired sweetness)
- Walnuts: ½ cup, chopped (or to taste)
- Salt: A pinch
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, mash the 3 ripe bananas until smooth.
Add the 2 eggs and whisk together until fully combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract (if using).
3. Combine the Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, a pinch of salt, and 1 ½ cups of flour.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
4. Add Walnuts:
Fold in the chopped walnuts to the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
5. Pour into the Loaf Pan:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
6. Bake:
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
