Chocolate banana cake recipe with step by step photos. Sharing a healthy snack that is a wonderful treat as well. Yes this chocolate banana cake recipe is vegan and made with whole wheat flour.
A snack that you can serve to toddler and kids too without thinking twice. I have been getting requests almost daily for egg less whole wheat cakes. Though I bake whole wheat cakes for family, I am a bit hesitant to share it here. I felt those cakes a bit dense compared to normal cakes. But with few tweaks in recipe, I was able to make delicious whole wheat cakes. First I tried my never fail vegan chocolate cake with wheat flour. Also I had few over ripe bananas so I made vegan chocolate banana cakes. This is my go to recipe for chocolate cake. It is so moist and dense just like brownie. To give it more of brownie effect I added some walnuts and chocolate chips to the batter.
To make chocolate banana cake you need very few ingredients. I have used mashed bananas here. Select bananas that are well ripe and soft. The batter should be a bit runny compared to other cake batters. The cake will be moist and soft and it is very easy to let the cake over bake. So watch and take it off from oven once the top turns dry and there are few cracks.
To make chocolate banana cake recipe, I have used whole wheat flour. You can use maida or combination of bot. You can use any oil here. I used olive oil.
