Description

This easy and delicious no-bake banana chocolate cake combines the natural sweetness of mashed bananas with rich melted semisweet chocolate to create a smooth, fudgy dessert that requires no baking. Ready in just 20 minutes plus chilling time, it’s perfect for a quick indulgence without heating up the kitchen.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (232 g) mashed bananas
  • 2 cups (365 g) semisweet chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Grease the interior of a 6 or 7 inch springform baking pan. Line the bottom and inner sides with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the cake once set.
  2. Mash the Bananas: Use a fork, whisk, or potato masher to mash the bananas thoroughly, removing all lumps. Set the mashed bananas aside.
  3. Melt the Chocolate: Place the chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat at full power in 1-minute intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This usually takes about 2 minutes total. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stove.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Pour the mashed bananas into the melted chocolate. Whisk the mixture vigorously until the bananas are fully incorporated and no streaks remain, resulting in a uniform batter.
  5. Set the Cake: Transfer the chocolate-banana batter into the prepared springform pan, smoothing the surface. Refrigerate the cake until it is fully set; this will take at least 1 hour but can be left overnight for convenience. If decorating with frosting, wait until the cake is completely chilled before applying.

Notes

  • The cake is best refrigerated to set, making it ideal for make-ahead desserts.
  • You can substitute semisweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
  • If you prefer a sweeter cake, use ripe bananas with natural sweetness.
  • This recipe does not require baking; heat comes from melting the chocolate only.
  • For easier removal, ensure the parchment paper is well-secured in the pan before pouring batter.
