This is my nephew's favorite cake. My mom always made it for him. It is so simple. It's great if you have lots of overripened bananas. If you knew my mom, you know that she was all about chocolate.
Chocolate Banana Cake
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
2 large very ripe bananas, mashed
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour an 8" square pan
Melt chocolate and butter/margarine together. Remove from heat, and mix in sugar, bananas, vanilla and eggs.
Measure the flour in a 2 cup measuring cup and thoroughly mix in the baking soda. Add to chocolate mixture and mix well
Pour into pan and bake in oven for 45 minutes (usually only about 30 minutes) or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan a few minutes and remove to cake rack.
Note from my mom at the bottom of the recipe... I usually scatter chocolate chips on the batter in the pan prior to putting in the oven... you can probably add chopped nuts too. Enjoy!
