🍫 Double Chocolate Banana Layer Cake

This cake brings together the richness of chocolate, the natural sweetness of ripe bananas, and a smooth chocolate cream frosting. The result is a deeply moist, soft, and aromatic layer cake with a melt-in-your-mouth texture and a bold chocolate finish.

⭐ Cake Ingredients

• 1 ¾ cups flour (220 g)
• ¾ cup cocoa powder (60 g)
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 3 large, very ripe bananas (mashed – ~1 ¼ cups)
• 1 cup sugar (200 g)
• ½ cup brown sugar (100 g)
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup milk
• ½ cup yogurt or sour cream
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

🍫 For the Chocolate Cream

• 200 g butter (at room temperature)
• 2 ½ cups powdered sugar
• ¾ cup cocoa powder
• 100 g melted dark chocolate (cooled)

The combination of bananas and chocolate chips ensures exceptional moisture and richness. Using yogurt or sour cream gives the cake an even softer crumb, while the hot water or coffee blends the cocoa smoothly for an intense chocolate flavor.
