This Eggless Chocolate Banana Cake is a moist and chocolaty cake, bursting with banana flavor, definitely a crowd pleasure. If you like bananas and chocolate you should definitely give this recipe a try. I already posted a Chocolate Banana Bread, but this one is an eggless version that is really easy to put together. Served with whipped cream and chocolate sauce this cake turns into a really decadent treat.
To get the best results it is essential to use ripe bananas, good quality cocoa powder and chocolate. I have made a cocoa sauce for this recipe but if you want to add even more chocolate to this dessert feel free to make a chocolate ganache instead. Hope you will try this Eggless Chocolate Banana Cake and enjoy!
