Eggless Chocolate Banana Cake Recipe with step by step pics and a short Youtube video. If you like my video, please do SUBSCRIBE to my channel ‘Asmallbite’. This cake is moist, tender, and chocolatey, infused with banana flavor, also sweet, but not overpowering. Since bananas go so well with chocolate, it’s a match made in heaven and tastes amazing too. It is also super easy to make, just gather up the ripe bananas, mash them, combine the wet and dry ingredients and bake it, that’s all. I have already shared Banana Cake and Chocolate Cake separately in my blog, but this one is a medley of both, with a flavor of cocoa powder, loaded with choco chips, so a double delight with crunchy walnuts too.

Notes
Tips for Chocolate Banana Bread
1. Use well ripe and sweet bananas only, for an excellent taste. 2. White sugar can be replaced with brown sugar or cane sugar too. 3. Oil can be replaced with softened butter at room temperature. But the cake turns a little hard after 2 days. 4. I used unflavoured/neutral oil, it can be replaced with olive oil too, it gives a nice texture to the cake. 5. Sifting all the dry ingredients is a must for even mixing and to avoid lumps. 6. For a healthy version, maida can be replaced with atta, but the cake will be a little dense. Otherwise, an equal quantity of maida and atta can also be used. 7. For a different taste, dry fruits or nuts like almonds, pistachios, pecan nuts, can be used. 8. Always toss the walnuts and chocolate chips with little flour, else it sinks to the bottom of the cake. 9. Do not over bake the cake, else it turns hard. After 25 minutes keep an eye on the cake. 10. Always cool the cake and then slice it, else it gets crumbled. 11. This Eggless Chocolate Banana Cake stays good for 3 to 4 days under room temperature. 12. In Microwave: Preheat it and bake the cake in convection mode at 180c for 35 to 40 minutes. 13. The same batter can be used to prepare chocolate banana muffins. But bake it for only 15 to 20 minutes. Common Tips in Baking- Baking powder cannot be substituted with baking soda, both are different.
- Ensure baking powder and baking soda are within the expiry date, else the cake won't raise and turns spongy.
- Once you prepare the batter, bake it immediately, otherwise, the baking powder de-activate and the cake won't raise.
- Choose the correct sized baking tray, else while baking itself the cake overflows. To avoid this fill the batter to 3/4 that of the tray.
- If the cake doesn’t get baked in the center, cover the tray with aluminum foil or butter paper and bake for another 10 minutes.
