Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large ripe bananas mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs with both sugars and oil until well combined. Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a fudgier cake, add 0.25 cup melted dark chocolate to the batter before baking.
