“Decadent Chocolate Banana Skillet Cake: A Simple Gourmet Treat”

Ingredients

  • 3-4 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: chocolate chips or nuts for added texture

Directions

  1. Preheat and Prepare:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Grease a medium-sized skillet (cast iron preferred) with a bit of butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Prepare Banana Layer:
    • Peel and slice the bananas lengthwise. Lay them flat in the bottom of the skillet. This will form the sweet base of your cake.
  3. Make the Batter:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, and eggs until smooth.
    • Add vanilla extract and continue to whisk.
    • Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, mixing until just combined. If using, fold in chocolate chips or nuts.
  4. Assemble the Cake:
    • Pour the batter over the bananas in the skillet, spreading evenly to cover all the bananas.
  5. Bake:
    • Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Serve:
    • Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm directly from the skillet. Optionally, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra decadence.

Conclusion

Chocolate banana skillet cake is a delightful treat that makes the most out of simple ingredients. The caramelized bananas add a layer of moisture and sweetness to the rich chocolate cake, making each bite irresistibly good.
