Banana-chocolate cake owes its popularity to a successful combination of ingredients. This refers not only to tastes, but also to the contrast of colors. The lemon-yellow hue of the banana goes well with dark chocolate. Together, this creates a harmonious look that will decorate any holiday table. That is why banana-chocolate cake is a favorite of housewives who can do baking with their own hands. The basic recipe is useful to everyone: those who bake for the first time, and those who are not afraid to experiment.
Banana-chocolate cake "Pincher"
You can bake it with a traditional sour cream. And you can replace it with banana yogurt - it will be less greasy and more elegant. You can also add nuts or pineapples. But the basic recipe by which you can bake a banana-chocolate cake is as follows. For the first, light cake, you will need a glass of kefir, sugar and flour and one egg. For the second - the same composition of the products, but for the color you need to add two tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa (preferably the Golden Label). In both cakes you need to add a teaspoon of soda. Preheat the oven to one hundred eighty degrees in advance. Combine all the ingredients for the dough in two different bowls. Pour into two forms and bake until cooked.
Now one of the cakes from which you will make a banana-chocolate cake, cut in half. Lay it flat on a table or on a cake stand. Cut the second cake into small square pieces and put in a large container.
There, put the diced bananas (and also, if you want, pineapples and nuts). Add six hundred grams of banana yogurt and mix. Do this carefully, but still make sure that the dough is well saturated. Gently lay the cake mixture on half of the first cake and use your hands to shape it into a dome. Top with another two hundred grams of banana or vanilla yogurt mixed with powdered sugar, spread it over the entire surface and place the workpiece overnight in the cold.
To decorate the cake, you will need a few more bananas, a chocolate bar and two tablespoons of vegetable oil. Fruits need to be cut lengthwise. Melt chocolate with butter. Pour chocolate icing over the cold cake , lubricate the banana slice with it and apply to the side surfaces. Garnish with nuts or slices of marmalade on top.
Chocolate cake without flour
The intense taste of this delicacy has long made it popular in the West. With us, this recipe has become known recently. This chocolate cake will appeal to everyone, without exception. Take six large eggs, beat and a half cups of sugar, after grinding well. Melt the dark chocolate (four whole chocolates with a maximum cocoa content of at least 75%). This can be done in a water bath or in the microwave. Melt the butter in the same way. Cool. Pour the butter into the chocolate, whip one hundred grams of cream to steady peaks and add to the same mass. Pour the mixture into a paper-lined mold and flatten. They make a cake in a water bath for about an hour - it is too tender for the oven. The finished product will be quite solid.
