Banana Chocolate dessert

Step 1: Peel 3 ripe bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the bananas until they are smooth and uniform. You can mash them to your preferred texture—whether you like a few small chunks for added texture or a completely smooth puree for a finer crumb in your cake.

Step 2: Crack 2 eggs into a separate bowl and beat them well with a whisk or fork until they are light and frothy. This step helps incorporate air into the eggs, making the cake fluffier once baked.

Step 3: Add 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the bowl with the mashed bananas and whisk thoroughly until the cocoa is evenly mixed in. Continue to whisk the mixture for 4-5 minutes to ensure the ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is light. Add 1 teaspoon of baking powder and mix until well combined; this will help the cake rise properly as it bakes.

Step 4: Gently fold in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts (or any preferred nuts) to add a delightful crunch and rich flavor to the cake. Mix just enough to distribute the nuts evenly throughout the batter without overworking it. Pour the finished batter into a greased or lined cake tin, using a spatula to spread it evenly.

Step 5: Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 30-35 minutes. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake—it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. Once baked, take the cake out of the oven and let it cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely at room temperature.

Step 6: Slice and serve your homemade banana chocolate cake, and enjoy the perfect combination of moist banana, rich chocolate, and a hint of crunch from the walnuts!
