Double Chocolate Banana Layer Cake

Print Recipe

A moist and rich double chocolate banana layer cake combining ripe bananas and rich cocoa powder for a deeply chocolatey flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, mix sugar, mashed bananas, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips gently.
  6. Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
  9. Assemble by layering cakes with your favorite frosting or chocolate ganache if desired.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for best flavor and natural sweetness. Allow cake layers to cool fully before assembling to prevent frosting from melting. Chocolate chips can be replaced with chunks for extra gooey texture.
